Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature 1 cup of sugar 1 egg, room temperature 1 cup of mashed bananas (about 2 ½ large
bananas) 1 teaspoon of baking soda 2 cups of flour pinch of salt 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon of ground mace or nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves 1 cup of pecans (walnuts and chocolate chips
are fine alternatives)
Method
1 Preheat the oven to
350°F. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg
and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
2 In a bowl, mix the
mashed bananas and baking soda. Let sit for 2 minutes. The baking soda will
react with the acid in the bananas which in turn will give the cookies their
lift and rise.
3 Mix the banana
mixture into the butter mixture. Mix together the flour, salt, and spices and
sift into the butter and banana mixture and mix until just combined.
4 Fold into the batter
the pecans or chocolate chips if using. Drop in dollops onto parchment
paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until nicely golden brown.
Let cool on wire racks.
Makes about
30 cookies.
