Banana Chocolate Drop Cookies

Course: Bakes
Servings: 40 cookies
Author: Dhanya Samuel

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 cup ripe banana; mashed well
  • 2 medium sized eggs each egg approx 50gms
  • 2 ½ cup plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Caster sugar; for dusting optional

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt.
  • Using a stand mixer/beater, cream the sugar and butter till light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs and beat well. Then add the mashed bananas and mix well to combine.
  • Finally add the dry ingredients in small quantities at a time, folding into the wet mixture.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan forced oven).
  • Line a tray with baking paper and drop a tbsp size of dough about 2 inches apart (the cookies tend to flatten out so leave enough space between the dough balls).
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Repeat till the entire dough is used up.

Notes

If you prefer smaller sized cookies, use only a tsp sized dough instead of a tbsp size
