Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
2. Mix in the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and mashed banana until fully combined.
3. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Fold gently until the dough comes together.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly. Cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls, place a few inches apart.
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and golden.
8. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Let the melted butter cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the egg.
Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and enhances the texture.
