Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Add the mashed banana, vanilla extract, and large egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula or spoon.
Step 7
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
