How to Make Banana Chip Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork and add them to the butter-sugar mixture along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup peanut butter chips, 1 cup chocolate chips, or a combination of both.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
