Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Beat the banana, cream, egg and vanilla together in a small bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt and then cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or a fork. Once the mixture looks crumbly, add in the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Using a large cookie scoop, place scoops of the batter about two inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the dough with cream and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
