Banana Cookie Recipe Soft Chewy Pantry Style
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 24 cookies 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This recipe features soft, chewy banana cookies, perfect for using up ripe bananas for a healthy snack or easy dessert. It’s a quick, pantry-style method that ensures delicious results every time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ripe bananas, mashed
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare Oven And Pans: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two standard baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light, fluffy, and paler (about 2-3 minutes). Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and mashed ripe bananas until well combined and smooth.
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Ensure no clumps remain for even distribution.
- Mix Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough cookies. (If dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water.)
- Bake Cookies: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough (about 2 inches apart) onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
Notes
For a healthier option, substitute half the flour with whole wheat pastry flour or half the butter with unsweetened applesauce. Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking. Avoid overmixing the dough to maintain a soft, chewy texture. A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
