1/2 cup of butter, softened
1 cup of sugar
1 egg
3 bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon of baking soda
2 cups of flour
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
Optional 1 cup of nuts, butterscotch chips, or peanut butter chips
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and mix.
In a separate 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.
In another bowl mix together the flour, salt, and spices and sift into the butter and banana mixture and mix until just combined.
Stir in the nuts and/or chips.
Using a cookie scoop place dough on parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 11-13 minutes or golden brown. Let cool on wire racks.
