How to Make Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time.
  3. Mash 2 ripe bananas and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans and 1 cup chocolate chips.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
