Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup or 240 grams)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (113 grams)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (150 grams)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (190 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (130 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C or 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and smooth.
- Add the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
- Slightly underbake for a softer center texture.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
