Soft, Chewy Banana Cookies that AREN'T Cakey
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
With a rich banana flavor and soft, chewy texture, these Banana Cookies are a unique and fun twist on a traditional chocolate chip cookie.
Recipe: sugarspunrun.com/banana-cookies/
Ingredients
⅔ cup well-mashed, very-ripe bananas (185g, this is typical 1 ½ bananas for me)
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled until no longer warm to the touch (226g)
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed (200g)
⅔ cup granulated sugar (135g)
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour (375g)
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon table salt
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups chocolate chips (use either milk chocolate or semisweet, or a blend of the two!) (255g)
1 cup chopped walnuts, optional (115g)

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:25 Combine well-mashed banana, melted/cooled butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir well until completely combined.
01:54 In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
02:15 Gradually add flour mixture to butter/banana mixture until completely combined (I do this in 3-4 parts).
02:32 Add chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, and stir until well-combined.
03:08 Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
03:18 Once dough has nearly finished chilling, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
03:27 Scoop dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoops and drop on prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2” apart.
03:52 Bake in 350F (175C) oven for 12-14 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

I made these and took them to work. I doubled the recipe so everyone could have some. I work at a Walmart Neighborhood Market. Everyone absolutely loved them. Thank you. I love all your recipes
I made these tonight & we all enjoyed them. I'm going to use them to make ice cream sandwiches during the summer. I think they'll be a perfect pairing with ice cream.

Hello I’m shon and I love your recipes especially your red velvet cake but I had a question about these banana cookies . I just can’t get them right for some reason they’re still coming out too cake like what am I doing wrong

I made this yesterday and it was really good and tasty. I was worried it would be cakey and that I would barely taste the bananas but the banana flavor shined through. It was just the perfect banana flavor that matched with the chocolate chips and the walnuts I put in. I really recommend this recipe. Since banana is a delicate ingredient I’d suggest actually measuring your banana and making sure everything is exact for the best results. It’s amazing how it tastes just like banana bread but in a soft cookie form. Thank you so much for this recipe.

Hi, Sam ! We had a bunch of over ripe bananas and were looking for something other than banana muffins and found your channel through a search on google. My Mom and I are both now looking, with a combination of awe and absolute love, through your videos and trying to decide what to make next !!! Your videos are so informative and warm... it's like spending time with a good friend who happens to be an insanely talented baker and teacher. I just wanted to thank you so very much for sweetening our day. We are so excited to go through your videos... we're going to have a bit of a marathon, I think... and look forward to all your upcoming videos. Hope the weekend is treating you sweetly... and again, thank you !!! ♥ Jon and Kat

Years ago in the mid1980's, there used to be a bakery called The Cookie Factory in Midtown Manhattan, NYC that sold large banana walnut cookies. They were absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, they are no longer in business. I have been searching the internet to find a recipe for banana walnut cookies that taste like the ones from the Cookie Factory. Hopefully, yours taste similar to the ones that the Cookie Factory sold.

Looks amazing! A chewy cookie is always the best! Meltss butter always accomplishes this! Question, instead of chocolate chips, do you think doubling the nuts would work just fine? A combo of walnuts and pecans or all walnuts? I have some family that are not huge chocolate chip fans. Caramel bits too would be great instead.

Personally, if I were to make these again I would only put the brown sugar in. I love sweets, but these were way too sweet for me.
Can be use oil instead of butter?
