  • Total Time: 27-30 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep the Bananas and Wet Ingredients: Start by mashing ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg. Mix until everything is creamy and fully combined. This mixture forms the flavorful, moist base of your cookies.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This combination helps give structure to the cookies without compromising softness or chewiness.
  3. Mix Dry and Wet Components: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the cookies tough. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky, ready to hold all that lovely banana flavor.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough, ensuring that every cookie gets sweet pockets of melty chocolate.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft. Allow cooling slightly before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use Overripe Bananas: The browner they are, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Don’t Overmix: Combine ingredients until just blended to keep cookies tender.
  • Chill the Dough: Refrigerate for 30 minutes if time allows to improve texture and prevent spreading.
  • Measure Flour Properly: Spoon and level your flour to avoid dense cookies.
  • Watch Bake Time: Slightly underbake for softer centers as cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
