Banana Walnut Cookies

Begin by preheating your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric). To prevent your baked goods from sticking, lightly coat your baking sheets with a thin layer of cooking spray or line them with parchment paper for an easy cleanup.

Next, combine the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. This will form the foundation of your baked treat.

In a separate, larger mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer. Once they're well combined, add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and lemon extract. Next, incorporate the bananas and walnuts into the mixture.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. This will help you achieve the perfect consistency for your baked goods.

Using a spoon, drop small portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. This will allow you to create individual treats.

Place your baked goods in the preheated oven and bake until they're lightly colored, taking around 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool, allowing you to enjoy your delicious baked goods.
