Wishing all my readers a very Merry Christmas!!
This month’s recipe isn’t very Christmas-y but is one my very favourites.
Because I bake these cookies so often, I was convinced that I’d shared them with you a long time ago.
Imagine my surprise when my search here yielded no results!
So I’m here today to offer up my sincerest apologies and rectify this major oversight of mine.
Much like the cookies I shared last month, these have a wonderfully soft, cake-like texture. As an added bonus, they bake up just as well when made as mini muffins!
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Adapted slightly from Taste of Home
INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup mashed banana
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 ¼ cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. baking soda
Pinch salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, banana and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to butter mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto prepared sheets. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yields 2 dozen.
If you’d like to try baking them in mini muffin tins, reduce flour to 1 cup. They shouldn’t take much longer to bake than the cookies, so I’d recommend checking around the 12-minute mark. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
