MARTHA STEWART BANANA-WALNUT CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES



Martha Stewart Banana-Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

Honestly, I'm not a big Martha fan. But a friend got me a free subscription to Martha's magazine. Normally I thumb through it and toss it within 2 or 3 minutes. One month, this recipe on the last page caught my eye. With a title like this, how could I not save it?!?! I just made it today (am actually in the middle of baking as I type) and it is AMAZING! If I had more chocolate, I'd be baking another batch instead of posting this....

CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful cookie.
  • Mash the bananas well before adding them to the batter to avoid large chunks of banana in the cookies.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter for a more pronounced flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will result in dry cookies.
