These Banana Bread Cookies combine the best of both worlds: the soft, chewy texture of cookies with the warm, comforting flavor of banana bread. Made with minimal ingredients, including ripe bananas, butter, and a few pantry staples, this easy cookie recipe is perfect for using up overripe bananas. Whether you’re in the mood for a light dessert, snack, or a healthier twist with mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, these cookies are the perfect treat.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies

Ingredients

1 ripe banana

½ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup melted butter

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and melted butter to the mashed banana and stir until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until fully combined.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a more indulgent treat, add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or cinnamon to the dough.

To make them healthier, use coconut sugar and whole wheat flour.

These cookies are freezer-friendly and will last up to 3 months in a freezer-safe bag.
