How to Make Banana Chip Drop Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease well.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup shortening until light and fluffy.
- Add the zest of 1 lemon and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Mash ½ cup ripe banana and stir into the creamed mixture.
- Beat well until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) and 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. The centers may still appear slightly soft.
- Let the cookies stand on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
