Description
Soft, chewy Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies made in one bowl—perfect for using up overripe bananas. These cookies are packed with banana flavor, gooey chocolate chips, and warm cinnamon.
Ingredients
1 small overripe banana, mashed (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together melted butter (or oil), brown sugar, and mashed banana until smooth.
2. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
3. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until no flour streaks remain.
4. Fold in chocolate chips gently.
5. Let the dough rest while preheating the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Scoop 1-inch balls of dough and space 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10–11 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies.
Chilling the dough for 5–10 minutes helps with thickness.
To freeze: scoop dough into balls and freeze. Bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to baking time.
