Delicious Banana Nut Cookies Recipe for a Sweet Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, cream together the mashed bananas, sugar, and softened butter until smooth.

    Using a hand mixer can make this easier.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla

    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Mix until no streaks of egg remain.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour and any desired spices (like cinnamon).

    Sifting the flour helps avoid lumps.
  5. Mix Everything Together

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Nuts

    Gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.

    Ensure even distribution without overmixing.
  7. Scoop and Bake

    Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.

    Leave space between cookies for spreading.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
