- measuring cups
- mixing spoon
- cookie scoop
- fork for mashing banana
Ingredients
- ½ Cup mashed ripe banana about 1 medium banana
- ¼ Cup granulated sugar
- ¼ Cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ Cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ¾ Cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 8-10 regular size Reeses Peanut Butter Cups cubed (I cut them in thirds, then thirds again)
- 1/3 Cup additional sugar for rolling I used a larger dusting sugar, use what you’d like
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place banana and both sugars into a large mixing bowl, mix until well combined. Mix in egg, vanilla and peanut butter mixing until well combined.
- Place flour baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Slowly stir into the wet ingredients until JUST combined, then add chocolate chips and the Reeses Cups. Don’t over mix this.
- Scoop cookie dough using a medium cookie scoop, roll into sugar and place onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Using the palm of your hand, gently press down cookies so they are about ½ inch thick, they don’t spread much. Or you can leave them scooped for a thick more puffed cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked but still soft. Let cool for 3 minutes on hot cookie sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.
