Equipment

- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana mashed until mostly smooth room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter cooled slightly
- 1 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Position the oven rack in the center for even baking.
- Mash the banana in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth. A few tiny lumps are fine; they add texture and flavor.
- Add the granulated sugar and melted butter to the mashed banana and mix well until the mixture is uniform and slightly glossy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of rising agent and seasoning.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, keeping them 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are set but still soft when lightly touched.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy with coffee, tea, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-treat moment!
