1 ripe banana, mashed

1/2 cup sugar
03 -
1/4 cup melted butter
04 -
1 cup flour
05 -
1/4 tsp baking soda
06 -
1/4 tsp salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mashed banana, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
03 -
Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
04 -
Use a spoon to drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
05 -
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the tops are set.
06 -
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Notes:
01 -
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor.
02 -
Try adding cinnamon, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts for variations.
03 -
The recipe can easily be doubled if you're making cookies for a crowd.
