Ingredients
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar
2 tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp sea salt
1 cup (175 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on low speed for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, mashed banana, and vanilla extract.
Mix for another 2 minutes until fully combined.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
All-purpose flour
Baking soda
Baking powder
Sea salt
4. Make the Cookie Dough
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
5. Shape and Bake
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Space cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
6. Cool and Serve
Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Use a very ripe banana for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
Do not overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies dense.
Semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips all work well in this recipe.
For added texture, mix in chopped walnuts or pecans.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.
