Ingredients

170 g		butter, softened to room temp
2		large eggs
1/2 cup	120 ml	white sugar
1/2 cup	120 ml	brown sugar
2 teaspoons	10 ml	vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups	360 ml	mashed bananas (350 ml, about 2 large and 1 small banana)
2 1/2 cups	600 ml	all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons	10 ml	baking powder
1/4 teaspoon	1.3 ml	baking soda
1/2 teaspoon	2.5 ml	salt
1/4 teaspoon	1.3 ml	nutmeg
2 cups	480 ml	raisins or chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 175°C. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and baking soda together in a medium bowl, then set aside.
Cream the butter with the sugars until it is light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is incorporated thoroughly.
Stir in the vanilla and the mashed bananas.
Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture slowly and mix until just combined.
Stir in the raisins or the chocolate chips.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 13 minutes (around 10). The bottoms brown faster than the tops, so watch the bottoms first!
