Print Recipe

Soft, moist cookies that combine the flavors of banana bread and chocolate chip cookies, perfect for a quick and comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips (semisweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth with a few small lumps remain (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes with an electric mixer or 6-7 minutes by hand).
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated; the mixture may look slightly curdled.
  5. Stir the mashed bananas into the butter-sugar mixture until evenly combined.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  8. Fold in the chocolate chips gently, distributing evenly.
  9. Drop mounds of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet using a tablespoon or cookie scoop.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and tops look slightly cracked but still soft.
  11. Let cookies 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 best flavor and sweetness. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender. For gooier cookies, bake for 10 minutes; for firmer edges, bake for 12 minutes. Chill dough for 15 minutes if kitchen is warm to prevent spreading. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
