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!

4 1/2 dozen cookies

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 54 servings

  • 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

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

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

  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.

  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.

  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.
