Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 piece ripe banana Soft and sweet for natural sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Adds a lovely sweetness while giving the cookies a slight crunch.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Infuses the cookies with rich, buttery flavor.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour The base for the cookies, ensuring a soft texture.
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda Helps the cookies rise and attain the perfect texture.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  3. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  4. Stir in the granulated sugar and melted butter until the mixture is well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  7. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth. For a chocolate twist, add chocolate chips or chunks. Chopped nuts or oats can provide a delightful texture contrast.
