In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Stir in the mashed banana, making sure everything is well combined.
4. Combine & Fold in Extras:
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined (don’t overmix!).
If using, gently fold in walnuts, chocolate chips, or raisins.
5. Bake to Perfection:
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Serve & Enjoy!
Enjoy warm with a cup of coffee, tea, or milk! ☕๐ฅ
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
