Ingredients
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix mashed banana, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are golden and tops are set.
Let cookies cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ripe Bananas: Use bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and flavor.
Flavor Boost: Add cinnamon, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or nuts for extra texture and taste.
Cooling Tip: Don’t skip cooling—this helps the cookies firm up and enhances the flavor.
Scaling Up: This recipe yields 12 cookies, but can be doubled easily for a crowd.
