Banana Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Could just grease as well. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix the mashed bananas and baking soda in a bowl and let sit for 2 minutes. Mix the banana mixture into the butter mixture. Mix together the flour, salt, and spices and sift into the butter and banana mixture and mix just until combined. Fold the pecans or chocolate chips if using, into the batter.
• 2. Drop by tablespoonful onto either a parchment paper lined baking sheet, or greased. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until nicely golden brown.
• 3. Let cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-by-5-inch metal loaf pan.
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
• Lightly beat the egg in a medium bowl with a fork or a whisk. Add the banana and mix to combine. Stir in the sour cream, vanilla and melted butter. Stir the sour cream-banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans until just combined but with a few lumps still in the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth out into an even layer.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 1 hour, 5 minutes to 1 hour, 10 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes. Run a thin knife along the sides of the pan to loosen the bread and unmold it. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until walnuts are toasted and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven and cool; coarsely chop.
• Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until pale and fluffy; add egg and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined. Beat banana into creamed butter mixture until just combined.
• Stir flour mixture into creamed butter mixture until dough is just combined; fold in oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each mound about 1 1/2 inch apart.
• Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Rotate pans and bake until edges are browned, 6 to 7 more minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together, and set aside.
• Cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the mashed bananas. Add the flour mixture, and stir until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until creamy. Beat in egg. Gradually mix in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans. Spoon into balls and place on cookie sheets about 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool for about 2 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until foaming. While the butter melts, slice the banana in half across, then in half lengthwise to create 4 long pieces. Once the butter is melted and foaming, swirl the skillet and place the banana pieces cut-side down in the butter.
• Sauté the bananas, swirling the skillet occasionally, until nicely caramelized on the bottom and the butter smells rich and toasted and is deep golden-brown (see Cook's Note), 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the bananas and browned butter to a small bowl and add the cinnamon. Use a fork to mash the banana.
• Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl and use the whisk to break up and incorporate the sugars into the flour. Add the egg, vanilla extract and the banana mixture and use a wooden spoon to stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and then the walnuts if using and stir until just combined.
• Use a rubber spatula to scrape all the dough into the center of the bowl. Press plastic wrap directly on top of the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. (The flavors will intensify as the dough chills.)
• Meanwhile, evenly position 2 racks in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 rimmed baking sheets thoroughly with more butter.
• Use a large ice cream scoop to scoop 6 mounds of dough (or have each one be 3 tablespoons) onto each prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each scoop. Bake the cookies, turning the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are very puffy and slightly domed, 12 to 14 minutes. (The centers will settle as they cool.) Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store the cookies at room temperature in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• In a bowl, mix the mashed bananas and baking soda. Let sit for 2 minutes. The baking soda will react with the acid in the bananas which in turn will give the cookies their lift and rise.
• Mix the banana mixture into the butter mixture. Mix together the flour, salt, and spices and sift into the butter and banana mixture and mix until just combined.
• Fold into the batter the pecans or chocolate chips if using. Drop in dollops onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until nicely golden brown. Let cool on wire racks.
• Makes about 30 cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; butter and flour 9x5x2 1/2 inch loaf pan.
• Whisk first four ingredients in bowl to blend, add chocolate chips and pecans.
• Beat butter until fluffy.
• Gradually add sugar, beating well until blended.
• Beat in eggs one at a time.
• Beat in mashed bananas, lemon juice and vanilla.
• Beat in flour mixture.
• Pour into loaf pan, cook 1 hour and 5 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Chop your pecans (if necessary). Pre-heat the oven to 350 and toast pecans for 5-7 minutes.
• 2. Turn oven down to 300. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• 3. Measure flour, soda, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Use a whisk to mix well.
• 4. Stir in the nut pieces and the chocolate chips.
• 5. Place softened butter in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the sugars, extracts, mashed banana, and egg. Beat well.
• 6. Mixture will appear somewhat separated. This is normal.
• 7. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
• 8. Beat on medium speed until well mixed.
• 9. I use a Farber levered ice cream scoop to portion the cookies, 6 to a sheet. Bake for about 25 minutes until deep golden brown. Store in an airtight container with wax paper between the layers. These cookies are moist and chewy and tend to stick together if stacked wihtout paper between.
