Description
Deliciously soft and chewy cookies made with ripe bananas and chocolate chips, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 small overripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter (or oil), packed brown sugar, and mashed banana until smooth.
- Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir just until no flour streaks remain.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Allow the dough to rest at room temperature, covered, for about 15 minutes.
- Scoop roughly 1-inch balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Once done, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly before enjoying.
