How to Make Banana Bread Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 cup mashed ripe banana, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour on low speed, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in ½ cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts (optional).
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and edges are set.
  8. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
