Recipe Introduction


These cookies have so much banana flavor. They are very good.





List of Ingredients



• 1 C. unbleached all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  
• 2 T. unsalted butter, softened
  
• 1/2 C. superfine sugar
  
• 1/2 C. light brown sugar, packed
  
• 1/4 C. very ripe banana, mashed
  
• 1 jumbo egg
  
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla
  
• 1/2 tsp. banana extract, optional but worth the addition
  
• 1 1/2 C. oats
  
• 1 C. milk chocolate chips
  






Instructions



1. Combine flour, sea salt, baking powder and soda, set aside.
   
2. Cream butter and sugars. Beat in banana, egg, vanilla and banana extract. Gradually add flour mixture and then stir in oats and chocolate chips.
   
3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto parchment covered cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees F. for 11-14 minutes. Cookies will be set and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let set on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
   






Final Comments


These cookies are good with or without chocolate chips. Chocolate-peanut butter chips or chocolate-caramel chips are wonderful substitutions.
