Chocolate Banana Cookies – Recipe

If you have leftover bananas and don’t want to go the banana cake route why not try making a banana cookie. This was my first attempt at these and I was rather pleased with how they came out. I will note that they are a very soft cookie so if you don’t like your cookies to have a slightly muffiny texture these will not be the treat for you.

Chocolate Banana Cookies

Makes 48

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
• 3 overripe bananas, mashed
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup toasted walnut pieces, roughly chopped
• powdered sugar for dusting

Make the Cookies:

• Preheat oven to 350
• Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats
• In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt
• In a stand mixer with the paddle attached cream together the butter and two sugars until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg, mixing well. Then the vanilla and mashed banana. The batter will look a bit curdled but don’t worry.
• Pour in the flour mixture and beat on low just until combined.
• Remove from the stand and stir in the chips and nuts until evenly distributed.

• Drop the batter onto the prepared sheets with a medium cookie scoop. If you don’t have a scoop use two spoons.

• Flatten the dough balls with a glass.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes until set.

• Remove to a wire rack to cool

• Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

How Were the Chocolate Banana Cookies?

I really liked them. They are not too sweet and the banana flavor comes through quite strongly.
They are a very soft, cake like cookie and the nuts add a touch of crunch and help to bring an additional flavor dimension. The chips add another layer of chocolate. Another use for overripe bananas other than a bundt cake.
