1️⃣ Prep Oven and Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get your baking sheets ready by lining them with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3️⃣ Mix Banana and Sour Cream: In a separate bowl, smoothly blend the mashed bananas with the sour cream.
4️⃣ Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Blend in the egg and vanilla extract for extra flavor.
5️⃣ Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the banana mixture, until everything is just combined. If you’re using them, fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts now.
6️⃣ Bake: Scoop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are beautifully golden. Allow them to cool on the sheets for a bit before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
