Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy. Add the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Flatten slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it’s too sticky for easy shaping.
- Adjust baking time for softer or crunchier cookies.
- Add chopped nuts or coconut flakes for extra texture.
