Peanut Butter Banana Cookies

Peanut Butter Banana Cookies

An ‘uh-oh’ moment in the kitchen was the inspiration for these super-delicious, soft, and chewy cookies! The dough was too crumbly for cookies and I needed a fix. On my counter was a bunch of bananas and I thought, hmmm… maybe?! So I added a couple of mashed nanners, and shazaam! Perfect dough texture. I baked them. Fingers crossed, I tasted them, and holy moley – it was love at first bite!

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 bananas, lightly mashed
  • ¼ cup chocolate syrup (such as Hershey's®)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.

Step 3
Beat eggs lightly in a large bowl. Add brown sugar, white sugar, shortening, and peanut butter. Mix until well blended and fluffy. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture; mix well. Repeat with remaining flour mixture; cookie dough should appear slightly dry and crumbly. Add bananas and mix well.

Step 4
Roll dough into small walnut-sized balls. Place on baking sheets. Press criss-cross patterns into each cookie using a fork, dipping it into some flour to prevent sticking.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely, at least 20 minutes. Apply some chocolate syrup to the back of a tablespoon and drizzle it over each cookie.

Cook’s Note:

Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge.
