Banana walnuts cookies

Banana Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies exploding with toasted walnuts and chocolate chips. These cookies are incredible and a delicious way to use up your over ripe bananas. The riper the banana the more intense the flavor! These cookies combine two of my favorite things, chocolate chip cookies and banana bread! 


Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 mashed ripe banana 
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted


Preheat oven to 180°.
In a small bowl, whisk together flours, salt, and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add egg; mix until combined. Mix in banana. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in oats, chocolate chunks, and walnuts.
Using a ice cream scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden brown and just set, 12 to 13 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets on wire rack for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
