Easy Banana Peanut Butter Cookies image

I found this recipe on a paper bag of bananas from my local Weis market. They're simple and yummy and my kids can't seem to get enough of them! It's also a great way to use up ripe bananas.

Time 25m

Yield 45 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 small ripe banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup)
1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky. They also suggest using reduced fat but I never have)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Spray baking sheets with vegetable cooking spray.
  • Combine flour and baking soda in a small bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together banana, brown sugar, margarine and peanut butter until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
  • Beat in egg and vanilla.
  • Gradually beat in flour mixture until a dough forms.
  • Shape dough into 1 inch balls, placing them 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  • Using the tines of a fork dipped in flour, press crisscross patterns onto each cookie.
  • Bake cookies in batches until edges are set, about 10 minutes.
  • Place baking sheets on wire racks and cool completely.
