Instructions

- In a large bowl, beat together the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until smooth.
- Add in the eggs and the vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all those flavors.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until everything is well incorporated. If you’re looking for that additional crunch, fold in the chopped nuts at this stage.
- Drop tablespoons of cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
