Experimenting in the kitchen

I wanted to try something new so I took my chocolate chip cookie a modded it a bit. The inspiration comes from Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream. The recipe below is just how I made the cookies but next time I may up the banana extract to 1 1/2 tablespoons.

Chunky Monkey Cookie Recipe

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon banana extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 cups flour
6 ounces chopped walnuts
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Directions
Cream the butter with the sugars until fluffy.

Beat in the egg and the banana extract.

Combine the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture. Stir in the walnuts and chocolate chips.

Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.

Makes 12 to 15 large cookies.
This recipe sounds amazing. I am totally craving cookies now!
try and toasting the walnuts before adding them to the cookies, i know it sounds minor but youll definately taste the difference!

the recipe really sounds amazing though!

+1 on the toasted walnuts
Definitely will try roasting the walnuts. I noticed that the walnut flavor was not very strong.

yea, toasting the walnuts releases the oils, and is the first step in makin any kind of nut extract, so if they do it, its gotta make anything taste good
