Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

      Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

          Mix Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

            Fold in Nuts and Chocolate: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

                  Cool Down: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delightful Banana Nut Muffin Top Cookies!
