How to Make Plantain Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe plantains until smooth.
  3. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in the optional chocolate chips or nuts.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
