Banana Bread Cookies

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

1 ripe banana, mashed
(Ripe bananas add sweetness and moisture; overripe ones work best!)

½ cup granulated sugar
(Sweetens the cookies while helping create a golden-brown crust.)

¼ cup melted butter
(Adds richness and tenderness to the cookies.)

1 cup all-purpose flour
(Provides structure without weighing down the cookies.)

¼ teaspoon baking soda
(Helps the cookies rise slightly during baking.)

¼ teaspoon salt
(Balances sweetness and enhances other flavors.)
