Why This Recipe Works

• The combination of mashed bananas and brown sugar creates a rich, caramel-like flavor that’s perfect for cookies.
• The addition of melted butter and large eggs gives the cookies a tender, chewy texture that’s sure to please.
• The hint of salt and vanilla extract balances out the sweetness and adds a depth of flavor that’s hard to resist.

Key Ingredients

For an authentic banana flavor, look for high-quality bananas that are ripe, but not overripe. If you’re using frozen bananas, thaw them first and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

When it comes to sugar, use a combination of granulated and brown sugar for a deeper flavor profile. You can also use muscovado sugar for a more intense flavor.
