BANANA COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl cream the shortening and the sugar together. Beat in the eggs, vanilla and lemon extract. Beat in the bananas and the nuts. Gradually add the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly colored. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

BANANA COOKIES

Steps:

• To make brown butter, heat unsalted butter in a light color saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter melts, it will start getting foamy. Once the foam subsides, you'll see clear bubbles. Continue cooking and stirring constantly to keep the butter from burning. Once the butter smells nutty and turns a caramel color, turn off the heat. This process will take about 7 - 9 minutes. Allow brown butter to cool to room temperature before using.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Add brown sugar, mashed bananas, egg, vanilla extract and brown butter to a large mixing bowl and beat with a whisk until thoroughly combined.
• Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon together in another bowl. Stir in the salt, mix with a whisk to evenly distribute. Add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients mixture, mix with a spatula until the cookie dough comes together. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
• Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough. For smaller cookies, use 1 scoop of dough, this will yield about 42 cookies. For larger cookies, add two scoops of dough on top of each other to form one large cookie, this will yield about 21 cookies. Garnish with extra chocolate chips and/or whole walnuts if desired.
• Bake small cookies for 10 minutes and large cookies for 13 minutes.
