Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Banana Bread Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in the mashed ripe bananas, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, then gradually fold into the wet ingredients.
  5. Gently fold in any optional mix-ins such as walnuts or chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
