Print Recipe

These Banana Brown Sugar Cookies are a delightful mash-up of banana bread and soft, chewy cookies. Perfect for using up overripe bananas, they are incredibly moist and filled with comforting sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a small bowl, thoroughly mash your overripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth, with just a few small lumps. Set this aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined. Then, gently fold in the mashed bananas until evenly distributed.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. If adding optional mix-ins, gently fold them into the dough now with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are just set but still look slightly soft.
  10. Once baked, remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
