How to Make Banana Nut Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Stir in 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
- Let the banana mixture sit for 2 minutes to allow the baking soda to react with the banana's acids for a better rise.
- Gently fold the banana mixture into the creamed butter and sugar mixture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans or chocolate chips (or both!).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade Banana Nut Cookies! Makes about 30 cookies.
