PEANUT BUTTER BANANA COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.
• Add flour, baking soda, and baking powder and continue to mix until well blended.

THIN & CRISPY BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Space two oven racks so that the oven is divided into thirds. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, a few minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg, mashed bananas and vanilla extract; beat until combined. Add the flour and oats mixture and mix on low speed until well combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be wetter than most cookie doughs; that's okay.
• Scoop large balls of dough (about 1½ tablespoons) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 3 inches apart, as they spread quite a bit (I use a small ice cream scooper with a wire scraper). Bake for 14-17 minutes, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back midway through, until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The Cookie Dough can be Frozen for up to 3 Months: Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) To Freeze After Baking: Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

BANANA COOKIES

Steps:

• To make brown butter, heat unsalted butter in a light color saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter melts, it will start getting foamy. Once the foam subsides, you'll see clear bubbles. Continue cooking and stirring constantly to keep the butter from burning. Once the butter smells nutty and turns a caramel color, turn off the heat. This process will take about 7 - 9 minutes. Allow brown butter to cool to room temperature before using.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Add brown sugar, mashed bananas, egg, vanilla extract and brown butter to a large mixing bowl and beat with a whisk until thoroughly combined.
• Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon together in another bowl. Stir in the salt, mix with a whisk to evenly distribute. Add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients mixture, mix with a spatula until the cookie dough comes together. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
• Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough. For smaller cookies, use 1 scoop of dough, this will yield about 42 cookies. For larger cookies, add two scoops of dough on top of each other to form one large cookie, this will yield about 21 cookies. Garnish with extra chocolate chips and/or whole walnuts if desired.
• Bake small cookies for 10 minutes and large cookies for 13 minutes.
