Instructions

  1. Combine well-mashed banana, melted/cooled butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir well until completely combined.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Gradually add flour mixture to butter/banana mixture until completely combined (I do this in 3-4 parts).
  4. Add chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, and stir until well-combined.
  5. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
  6. Once dough has nearly finished chilling, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoops and drop on prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2” apart.
  8. Bake in 350F (175C) oven for 12-14 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Interestingly, I've found that the fresher these cookies are the stronger the banana flavor is!
