Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas and Wet Ingredients: Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well combined.
  2. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
  3. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough without breaking them up.
  4. Scoop and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them a couple of inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This step helps them set perfectly while keeping their tender texture.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum flavor and moisture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep cookies tender.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading and maintain thickness.
  • Customize with different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or peanut butter chips.
  • Watch baking time closely; remove cookies when edges are set but centers are still soft for chewiness.
