Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The centers should still appear soft.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough.
- Make sure the bananas are very ripe for the best sweetness and moisture.
- These cookies are perfect for an afternoon treat or a quick dessert!
