Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft and chewy banana chocolate chip cookies made with ripe bananas and rich chocolate chips. These cookies are a perfect mix of banana bread and classic chocolate chip cookies, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and mashed banana, and mix until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your banana chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
Notes
- Add Nuts: For extra texture, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough.
- Extra Banana Flavor: Use two small bananas instead of one for a stronger banana flavor.
- Make It Gluten-Free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Storage
Store these banana chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months.
Thaw at room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
