Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c mashed bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
1/2 c sour cream
1 stick butter
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
OPTIONAL
1/2 c mini chocolate chips
1/2 c walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the butter in a small saute pan until it turns brown and smells nutty.

  • 5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  • 8. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes (dough will still be sticky). Drop a one-inch ball of dough onto cookie sheets 2-inches apart (about 1 1/2 Tbsp).
  • 9. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes or until the edges are brown.
