Equipment
Cookie Scoop
Baking sheet
Silicone Baking Mat
Stand mixer
or hand mixer
Ingredients
¾
cup
unsalted butter
softened (1.5 sticks)
½
cup
granulated sugar
(white sugar)
½
cup
brown sugar
lightly packed
1
cup
mashed banana
overly ripe, 2-3 bananas
1
large
egg
at room temperature
¾
teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1 ½
cups
all purpose flour
1
teaspoon
salt
½
teaspoon
baking soda
2
cups
oats
(quick or old fashioned) (see note 1)
½
cup
chopped walnuts
optional
1
cup
chocolate chips
optional, or raisins
Instructions
Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer) until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Add both sugars and mix until incorporated for 3 minutes.
Add the bananas, cinnamon, and eggs. Beat to combine.
Add the flour, salt, baking soda, oats, and chocolate chips/raisins/nuts if using. Mix on a low speed until just combined.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the bowl.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Scoop the dough out into equal sized balls, about 1.5 Tablespoons each. I like to use a cookie scoop for easy and even portioning.
Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment, at least 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies until turning a light golden brown on the bottom edges, approximately 15 minutes.
Cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack. When cool, store in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
You will get more cookies if you add chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts since you are increasing the volume of dough.
Old fashioned oats will give you more of a chewy texture compared to quick oats. Use whatever you prefer or have.
