Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mash the Bananas – Peel and mash two ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth with a few small chunks remaining. This mash provides moisture and natural sweetness essential to the dough.
  2. Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar – In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract to build a deep flavor foundation.
  3. Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients – Add the mashed bananas to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, blending well for a unified wet mixture that ensures tenderness.
  4. Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients – Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl to evenly distribute leavening and salt.
  5. Step 5: Fold Wet and Dry Mixtures – Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing. Gently fold in the chocolate chips preserving their shape.
  6. Step 6: Bake – Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and tops are lightly golden but still soft.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix dough to keep cookies tender and chewy.
  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Chill dough briefly before baking to reduce spreading and deepen flavor.
  • Remove cookies when edges are firm but centers remain soft for ideal chewiness.
