Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe bananas Make sure they’re spotty for maximum flavor!
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Can use coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup brown sugar Or a mix of brown and white sugar for added texture.
  • 1 piece large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Whole wheat flour can work for a healthier twist.

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add Ins
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Consider using bittersweet or dark chocolate for an indulgent touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place parchment paper on your baking sheets for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Add the softened butter and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Beat together until creamy.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  2. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
