Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas, peeled and mashed with a fork)
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature but not melted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (measured by spooning into the cup and leveling off)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (feel free to use mini chips for more even distribution)
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Mixing by hand with a wooden spoon is recommended for better control.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined to help cookies rise evenly.
  • Stir in the mashed bananas, blending thoroughly until the mixture is uniform.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even rising and taste distribution.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips gently so they are evenly distributed without breaking apart.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet to avoid sticking.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown but centers look slightly soft for chewy centers.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to set perfectly without crumbling.
