Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons Instant coffee powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Ripe banana, mashed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, and mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft. Do not overbake as they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
