Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup mashed ripe banana

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.

3. Mix in the mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until a soft dough forms.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

7. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Avoid using bananas that are too watery or oversized, because too much moisture can make the cookies spread too much and turn cakey instead of soft and chewy.
