minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then stir in 1 cup mashed ripe bananas.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Gradually add to the banana mixture, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

The magic of these cookies lies in their soft, cake-like texture, mirroring the moistness of banana bread, with the added joy of melty chocolate chips in every bite.

Tip: For an extra banana bread vibe, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon sugar on top of each cookie before baking.
