One bowl because I am feeling lazy. Banana and pecan and chocolate because also, I am feeling decadent. Chocolate chunks because that is what my husband always chooses when given free reign in the baking ingredients aisle. You can use regular chips. I won't tell. Apologies for the lousy camera phone picture...I wasn't kidding about the lazy part.
Ingredients
1 c butter, room temp
1 3/4 c granulated sugar
2 tbs molasses*
2 ripe medium bananas, smashed
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
2 c non-bleached all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 oz chocolate chunks
1 1/2 c roughly chopped pecans
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter, sugar, and molasses together in a mixing bowl. Add bananas, egg, and vanilla until well mixed. Slowly add in flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly mixed. Stir in chocolate chunks and pecans (you can add less of these if you like; I like my cookies choc full of goodness). Bake for ~ 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes, then transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. They may be a little sticky coming off the cookie sheets, but it's okay. They will still be delicious. Promise.
*This is because I was out of brown sugar. If you are not out of brown sugar, you can eliminate the molasses and replace the 1 3/4 c granulated sugar with 1 c packed light brown sugar and 1 1/2 c granulated sugar. Or not. These came out pretty darn tasty as written.
