Banana-Walnut Chocolate-Chunk Cookies
Wow.
These are beyond good… There are hardly any words…. mind-blowing… magnificent!
It’s like eating a chocolate chip cookie on top of a slice of warm banana bread, but all in one bite! Mmmmm! The walnuts and oats give it a nice texture and thickness compared to just a normal cookie. Promise me you will try these. Pretty please.
I used a 2 teaspoon cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the sheets. I have always used two spoons to scoop the dough but this made it so much easier. And fun! Plus they all came out to a consistent size.
Yummy. That’s all I have to say about that.

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Measure all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, coarse salt and baking soda. Combine in medium mixing bowl; whisk together. Combine butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar in bowl (or electric mixer bowl). Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla; mix on low speed until combined. Mix in mashed banana. Gradually add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in oats, chocolate chunks and toasted walnuts. Using a 2 teaspoon cookie scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper (or cookie sheet liner) spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, 12 to 13 minutes until golden brown and just set. Place pans on wire racks and let cool 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks; let cool completely. Store cookies in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 days. Makes about 4 dozen cookies. |
