Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe overripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Soften your butter and measure out your dry ingredients so everything is ready to go.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This step is crucial to achieving that soft, chewy texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Mix the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, mixing gently until no streaks of flour remain.
  5. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and keep shapes neat.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate chips for better melting and taste.
  • Start checking cookies at 12 minutes to prevent overbaking and dryness.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread or apple wedge to maintain softness longer.
