Ingredients to make chocolate chip banana cookies

Here are all the ingredients you’ll need to make these banana chocolate chips cookies. It’s the usual suspects for making chocolate chip cookies, but also with an over-ripe banana that we’ll be mashing soon.

Ingredients to make banana chocolate chips cookies
  • Unsalted Butter: Butter adds moisture and richness to the cookies, enhancing their flavor and texture.
  • Granulated Sugar: Sugar sweetens the cookies and contributes to their tender texture and golden brown appearance.
  • Egg: The egg acts as a binder, helping to hold the cookie dough together and giving the cookies structure.
  • Ripe Banana: Mashed ripe banana not only adds natural sweetness but also imparts a delicious banana flavor and keeps the cookies moist.
  • Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile of the cookies, adding a warm and inviting aroma. Use pure vanilla extract for the most authentic vanilla flavor.
  • All-Purpose Flour: Flour serves as the primary dry ingredient, giving the cookies structure and helping them hold their shape.
  • Baking Powder: Baking powder acts as a leavening agent, providing lift and making the cookies soft and cake-like.
  • Salt: Salt enhances the flavors in the cookies, balancing the sweetness.
  • Baking Soda: Baking soda helps the cookies rise and spread while contributing to their soft and chewy texture.
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Chocolate chips are a classic addition to these cookies, providing bursts of chocolate in every bite. Chocolate chunks or dark chocolate varieties would also be a great addition.
  • Gluten Free Banana Cookies: Swap out the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Check to make sure the other ingredients, like baking soda and powder are certified gluten-free as well.
  • Crunchy Nuts: Consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts to your cookie dough before baking. This will give these cookies a nice crunch and extra chew.
  • Enhance the chocolate: A little bit of espresso powder or instant coffee goes a long way in enhancing the flavors of chocolate. Paired with the sweetness of ripe bananas, these coffee-enhanced cookies would make a great breakfast treat.

RECIPE VIDEO TUTORIAL

How to make banana chocolate chip cookies

First start by creaming the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. And continue by adding in the egg, mashed banana and vanilla extract. Those are all the wet ingredients for the banana cookies.

Next, you’ll add the combined dry ingredients into the mixer and blend until there are no more streaks of flour. Finally, it’s time to fold in the chocolate chips.

The banana cookies batter will be more moist that the typical cookie dough batter. It will be fluffy and airy and this is what helps make them cake-like.

Use a cookie scoop to place the cookies on a silpat or greased baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

The cookies are ready when you start to see the edges slightly brown. That’s your signal to remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. They will look slightly undercooked on the top, but as long as the edges start to brown, then they are ready and will continue to set as they cool.

“My 8 year old daughter absolutely loves these! I’ve been making them for at least a year and a half. They are super easy and fast. The recipe is perfect. I don’t measure the chips (we like a lot) and I also add however much of oatmeal I’m feeling. Adding oatmeal doesn’t change the cook time or anything else in the recipe.” – Mallory

Tips for making the best banana chocolate chip cookies

  • Use over-ripe banana. This makes it easier to mash the banana, but it also adds a lot more sweetness and flavor to the recipe and helps give them that cake-like moist and chewy texture.
  • Use butter and egg at room temperature. This helps to make sure everything mixes well together without getting clumps. It gives the cookies an even texture and consistent taste. If you’re in a rush to get the butter to room temperature, you can place the butter in the microwave for 7-10 seconds. And you can place the egg in a bowl of warm tap water.
  • If you have time, chill the cookie dough. Chilling the cookie dough helps to improve the texture and flavor of the cookies. It solidifies the fat in the butter so that it doesn’t spread as quickly when baked, making for a richer tasting cookie that doesn’t spread as easily.

How to store banana chocolate chip cookies

Before storing, allow your cookies to cool to room temperature first, either on a baking sheet or wire rack. You can store at room temp for 2 to 3 days.

How long will banana chocolate chip cookies last in the fridge?

When stored properly, banana chocolate chip cookies will last up to a week in the fridge. The cooler temperatures may alter the texture slightly. 

Can I freeze chocolate chip banana cookies? 

Yes! Whether you’re freezing the cookie dough or the baked cookie the following goes for both options. Place the cookies on a baking sheet, place the sheet in the freezer for a couple of hours. Once the cookies or cookie dough has hardened, place them into a freezer safe airtight container or resealable bag. Store for up to 3 months. 

Serving warmed: To enjoy as if they were freshly baked, stick a couple of cookies wrapped in a paper towel and microwave for 10-15 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen bananas for this cookie recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen bananas. This is very helpful when you have too many ripe bananas, simply freeze the rest for future desserts. Before baking, thaw out your frozen bananas, mash, and then add them to your cookie dough. Keep in mind that frozen bananas may release more moisture than fresh. Because of this, you may need to adjust the flour slightly.

My cookies are too soft and cake like, how can I make them chewier?

This cookie recipe is supposed to result in soft and cake like cookies. For the same flavor, but a chewier, less cake like result, use a smaller banana, and increase the sugar slightly. This should result in a dense, chewier cookie texture. Note that this change hasn’t been tested with this recipe. For a chewy cookie option, try my Applesauce Chocolate Chip Cookies.

These banana chocolate chip cookies are legit chewy, rich and bursting with a sweet banana flavor. They are like little pillowy banana breads in cookie form and make the perfect treat for kids, holiday gatherings or just Friday night cookie cravings!

    So so so yummy

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you, so happy you liked them!

  2. Jean says:

    Didn’t change a thing except used dark chocolate chips, as it was all I had. Delicious!!!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Dark chocolate chips sound so good! So glad you enjoyed the cookies, Jean!!

  3. Becca says:

    These were pretty good, puffed up nicely. But I thought the banana flavor was a little muted. Any suggestions?

    Also, did this recipe substituting butterscotch (it’s how I make my bread and how my husband prefers it), and it turned out really good, although a little sweet for my taste.

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Great question, Becca! I would double the amount of bananas and either increase the flour or bake time to compensate for the extra moisture. If your batch was too sweet, you may want to slightly reduce the portion butterscotch chips you add as well. Enjoy!

      1. Becca says:

        Thank you for the tip(s)! We will try doubling the banana next time and adjust the flour so it’ll be a similar consistency. (This is why I always make the recipe exactly as is before adjusting it in any way). The butterscotch is no biggie – he thought it was amazing. I’m just not a big fan of butterscotch, and I thought the chocolate chips were a perfect sweetness level.

  4. Mary says:

    I am making these for the 3rd time today. My granddaughter absolutely loves these cookies. Thank you for the recipe.

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Aww, I’m so happy your granddaughter loves them!! You’re welcome!

  5. Shawn says:

    Mine didn’t flatten as much but tased exactly as described! I added walnuts and mixed in some peanut butter chips as well to boost the flavor/textural profile. They end up being a huge hit with the whole family. Such a well balanced cookie too. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

    1. Yumna says:

      Sounds so good!

  6. Robert says:

    Mar. 30, 2024

    Made these today with my 5 year old granddaughter. Easy to make, we used a stand mixer; it was easy to add the next ingredient and watch.

    Baked for 14 min. in a convection oven. They turned out perfectly soft. A great cookie; I can’t believe they last 3 – 4 days in a sealed container because they go too fast. A great nibble.

    1. Yumna says:

      So happy you enjoyed them!

  7. Max says:

    Excellent, easy recipe! I doubled it & weighed each spoonful: 26 grams = 54 cookies (baked 15 minutes). Next time, I’ll double the vanilla extract & try it with light brown sugar for stronger flavor. I used frozen bananas, thawed & drained before mashing (it took 3 of those to equal 1 cup). Thanks so much!

    1. Yumna says:

      Glad you enjoyed these!

  8. Jan says:

    The flavor is nice, but the texture is too much like cake for my taste.

    1. Yumna says:

      Thanks for your feedback.

  9. Suzanne says:

    Thank u so much for sharing, my 3 yr old absolutely loves them. Thank you

    1. Yumna says:

      Yay, I am so glad to hear!

      1. jed says:

        Hi! Im wondering how much grams the cookie dough balls has to be before baking?

        1. Yumna says:

          So sorry but I don’t test my recipes in grams.

  10. Suzanne Crawford says:

    These banana cookies are so soft and delicious 😋 everyone loved them and my 2 year olds new favorite! Thank you so much for sharing

    1. Yumna says:

      Yay, so happy these have been a hit with little ones, too!

  11. Shauna says:

    The cookies turned out delicious, however they got really flat in the oven. I know better to refrigerate the dough for an hour before baking. They also stuck to the parchment paper. Next time, silicone mats and chilled dough for sure. Thank you for the recipe.

    1. Yumna says:

      Glad you enjoyed the taste and thanks for the feedback.

  12. lynn says:

  13. Kay Darknell says:

    These so good and soft like a pillow! I made three batches and put some in my freezer ,I hope they freeze well. We all love them , and they are on the healthy side which is good for us. Thank u ! For sharing your recipe. Kay PS I don’t see how to post my photo.

    1. Yumna says:

      So glad you loved them! You can share your photo of them on Instagram and tag me, @feelgoodfoodie.

    1. Yumna says:

      Gotta love extra chocolate chips! Glad these are a family favorite!

  15. Kellie says:

    The cookies are ok. I had much higher expectations for them based off of the reviews… That being said, I’m not going to throw them out but will give them away.

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you for the feedback, Kellie!

  16. Julia says:

    Do these freeze and defrost well?

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      They should!

  17. Janet McKenna says:

    please send banana chocolate chip cookies recipe

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      The recipe can be found on the recipe card at the bottom of the page!

  18. Becca says:

    Just made these – they are FANTASTIC! They literally taste exactly like eating chocolate chip banana bread just in cookie form. So soft and moist, will definitely make again!

    I wondered how it would be to add peanut butter to them? Not sure how it would be or what measurement I would do for that. Just something to consider!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      That makes me so happy to hear! I love that! I would just add a few teaspoons of peanut butter.

  19. Gabe says:

    This sounds like a great recipe and I’m going to give it a go but why no weight measurements? A cup of flour can vary by about 20% depending on how tight you pack it and I don’t know if you mean metric or imperial cups. Pleeease include weight measurements.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Thank you! I use imperial cups, as I’m based in the US.

  20. Katia pasinkov says:

    I used brown sugar and added half bitter chocolate chips and half white chocolate chips. The cookies came out very delicious and pretty healthy! Thank you for this successful recipe!
    I am saving it and will fo it again and again💖

    1. Yumna J. says:

      I love the sound of that! You’re so welcome!! Hope you continue to enjoy!

  21. Rocio says:

    Hi! Love your recipes!
    Can I use oat flour instead?
    Is ghee ok instead of butter?
    Thank you!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you so much! For best results, follow the recipe as is. However, those substitutions should work! Let me know if you give it a try.

  22. SL says:

    These cookies turned out really good! I was hesitant at first because we added extra banana, but they were delicious. Nice, light and fluffy.

    1. Yumna J. says:

      I’m so glad it worked out! Yay!!

    2. Heather Shea says:

      I made these last week with oat flour and they were perfect! I did refrigerate the dough a bit before baking. They were, soft, moist and the flavor was phenomenal!! Currently making them again, but with Toll House Hot Fudge Sundae mixture (marshmallows, choc chips, & graham pieces)! ❤️

      1. Yumna J. says:

        Oo that sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing!

  23. Estelle Keymeulen says:

    These cookies are amazing😍! I tried them with light brown sugar and it’s still super yummy. I also made extra big ones (12 instead of 24) and let them 5 min more in the oven. I’m so glad I found this recipe✨!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      I love that! Me too!!

  24. Shizu says:

    These look so good! Def going to try these! I don’t have an ice cream scoop, so how many tbsp of dough would you recommend for each cookie? Thank you!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Excited for you to try it! There is roughly 1.5 tablespoons in a cookie scoop.

  25. Zeinab says:

    These cookies were so delicious and the recipe was easy to follow! Will definitely be remaking them ☺️

    1. Yumna J. says:

      That makes me so happy to hear! Yay!!

  26. Sandy says:

    Just read all the comments. Def making these tomorrow! Thank-you so much for the recipe!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Yay! Let me know what you think once you do make it!

  27. Jackie Anderson says:

    Can I use 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4cup white sugar for this recipe?

    Thank you..

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Yes, that will work. The taste may come out a little different though.

  28. Izzy says:

    Just put these in the oven now… I’m sure they’ll taste good but it only made 11 cookies ?!
    I followed the measurements exactly (converted things to grams to get accuracy) 🤔

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Let me know how they end up tasting! Sometimes that happens depending on the size of each cookie formed. Otherwise, it may be what the number the servings were set to!

  29. Kathryn Kennedy says:

    Another amazing recipe I have made MULTIPLE times this year. And with the banana, they are somewhat healthy cookies, right?! Love the cakey/cookie texture.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Haha, yes, totally healthy cookies! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

  30. SN says:

    Awesome recipe, delicous cookies. Cookies turned out nice and soft. Recipe is also very easy to follow.

  31. Megan Nunez says:

    I’m so thankful to you for sharing your recipes!! They always turn out amazing! My family loved these cookies so much! They are a perfect little snack!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Aww so glad to hear it! Thank you so much!!

  32. Maelien says:

    Love the cookies!!! Soft and def cake like without all the guilt. Super easy to follow. Def adding to my recipe book!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      So happy to hear that! Thank you!

  33. Neda says:

    Made these today with my 4 year old son. It was my first attempt at baking cookies. They turned out fluffy & delicious but I made the mistake of leaving the tray in the oven while it was being preheated so the bottom of the cookies kind burned but it was nothing I couldn’t just scrape off with a knife😉. Also, I used peppermint m&ms instead of chocolate chips and it was like Christmas in my mouth🥰. I definitely need more practice making these but they were delicious anyway

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Awww, great job making your first cookies! That’s awesome! And I hope you make them again, you’ll be a pro soon!

      1. Neda says:

        Thank you

  34. Monica says:

    Hello I absolutely love your page make lots of your recipes question can the flour be sub for almond or maybe oat but almond has anyone tried it.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Unfortunately almond flour can’t be used since it’s gluten free and reacts differently. But if you can find the 1:1 Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free baking flour, that works really well!

  35. Sarah says:

    Came out too like cake rather than cookies.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Sorry you didn’t enjoy it! It’s definitely a cake-like texture which I mentioned in the recipe 🙂

  36. ing says:

    This is the exact same recipe as taste of home banana chocolate chip cookies!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Oh yes, it does look like it! I actually got the recipe from my another blogger’s site which I credited, so it’s possible that’s where she adopted it from 🙂

  37. Lisa says:

    These are tasty and quick to make when you can’t kick the craving. 🙂

  38. Alisa says:

    Just made these and they are soooo good! Cakey, fluffy, chocolatey deliciousness! I didn’t completely wait until the butter and eggs were room temp and I thought they were still amazing.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      That’s good to hear! Thank you for sharing 🙂

  39. Jean Lembo says:

    Absolutely perfect! Doubled the recipe to have a little extra, great way to use ripe bananas if you don’t want to make banana bread. These cookies were a hit!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Awesome! That was smart to double the recipe!

  40. Asmaa says:

    I made these cookies today and they are so yummy. They are very moreish, I’ve had 5 already! Quick and easy to make. 🙂

  41. Skeeter says:

    LOVE these cookies. They are easy, pretty guilt free, and delicious! We’ve been making them about once a week since I found this recipe! So yummy!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yay, that’s so awesome. Thank you!!

  42. Rita says:

    Amazing cookie!! Found the recipe this week and already baked them twice!! They are soft and squishy in the middle just delicious

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Oh perfect!! So glad you already made them twice!!

  43. Flora says:

    These aren’t cookies! They are little cakes. Sorry I didn’t like the recipe. I wanted to taste the banana as well, and i wanted the texture to have more bite, like a cookie!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Sorry you didn’t enjoy them. It says multiple times throughout the recipe that they have a cake-like texture and you can see that in the comments too.

  44. Menna says:

    Can I sub butter for coconut oil? Really looking forward to trying this recipe tonight!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yes I think that should work, but I haven’t tried it myself.

  45. Hunter says:

    I used margarine instead of butter, because butter was sold out at the store. These cookies still turned out great despite the substitution! Soft, cake-like textured cookies are my favorite type of cookie! This is the best use of a lone ripe banana! Thank you!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yay! So glad to hear it!! Thank you!

  46. Lara says:

    These came out like little cakes- fluffy texture. They are good but not exactly like a cookie like I was expecting.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yes, they are super soft…definitely a different texture!

  47. Sandra says:

    This is hands down my favorite cookie recipe! My friend wants to make this but has a banana allergy, can the banana be substituted for apple sauce?

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yay! So glad to hear it! And yes, you can sub applesauce for the bananas, but add a couple extra tablespoons of flour since the applesauce is more wet than mashed bananas. Thank you!!

  48. Sherin says:

    So yummy and easy to bake! My family loved it. I’m not a huge banana fan myself but the cookies only had a hint of banana so I loved them too! So soft and fluffy!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      So glad you liked them! Yeah, the banana flavor is actually not overpowering, which is nice!

  49. Anna says:

    I only have salted butter, can I use that but eliminate the salt from the recipe?

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yup that works!

  50. Zoe says:

    Hi! Can this recipe be frozen? And if so, how much longer would it need in the oven?

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yes it can, and you just need to add 5 minutes if you’re baking from frozen.

  51. Brinda Selvamanoharan says:

    Best and yummiest banana cookie recipe! They taste like little cookie cakes! Delicious! And was so excited that it called for one banana…as that’s all I had! Perfect!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Haha that’s perfect when it works out like that. Thank you so much!!

    2. Amy says:

      Yummy. Just made it today. Right now I am enjoying every bite of these delicious cookies. Love all your recipes

  52. Eileen says:

    These are excellent! I am not a baker and usually inept in the kitchen, yet these turned out great! I added walnuts and coconut shreds to the recipe. It worked out very well! Thank you!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      So glad to hear that you enjoyed them. Thank you!!

      1. Patricia says:

        Hi! Can you use gluten free all purpose flour?

        1. Yumna Jawad says:

          Yes, that should work well!

  53. Lia says:

    Yummy and easy! We added chopped walnuts and baked for 20 minutes. Turned out great!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      So glad to hear you enjoyed it. Love that you added walnuts 🙂

  54. Iris says:

    Can I make this with all purpose wheat flour?

  55. Maritza L. says:

    Amazing cookies!!!! A hit in our home!! My teenager couldn’t get enough of them.!

  58. Anne Marie says:

    These are perfect! Made half chocolate chip/half peanut butter chip and both were a hit. Couldn’t stop my kids from eating just one!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      That’s awesome! Love that you used peanut butter chips too…yum!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

    These cookies turned out amazing! So good and so easy to make! Thank you for the recipe!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      So glad to hear it. Thank you!!

  60. Paige Cary says:

    I just tried this recipe while self isolating. The cookies were really good! I really like the soft/fluffy texture. Great recipe to try when you have an old banana leftover and a lot of time to kill due to global pandemic.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yes, baking has been so therapeutic lately! Glad you enjoyed this recipe!

  61. LaRyssa says:

    I am no fan of baking and am even more not a fan of store bought quick sweet fixes. These where very easy to make, moist and delicious. I uses 1 1/3 very ripe bananas that I had left. I only have 1/2 cups of chocolate chips, but worked fine. I also add crushed pecans. I’m sure I mismeasured something because the cookies were extra fluffy. I wish I could add a pic.I will definitely make these again.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      So glad you liked them! And can you share your pic with me on Instagram? I would love to see how they turned out Thank you so much!

  62. Monica Jimenez says:

    So soft and delicious!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Thank you!!

  63. Maria says:

    These sound so nice! Would I be able to use oat flour rather than all purpose?

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Unfortunately it won’t work with oat flour.

  64. Ilknur says:

    So delicious ? and easy to do. We love it?. Thx ??

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yay! I’m so happy you loved it!!

  65. London says:

    Sub’d the butter for sunflower oil, used two free run fresh eggs and used cane sugar. I also used ancient grains flour, same amount. I used mini chocolate organic chocolate chips. Oh yeah and Two crushed bananas:) these Puffed up and made 12 dense huge cookies,.. delish,,,:)

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      I love the substitutions you made!! Thanks so much for sharing and glad you liked them!!

  66. Joanne says:

    Can I use brown sugar instead of white sugar?

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yes you can

  67. Sue says:

    Can I freeze these cookies for a week or so? It’s that time of year again!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yes, you totally can! Happy Holidays!

  68. Ryan montes says:

    Can I substitute with almond flour ?

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      No it won’t work unfortunately. But I have a “flourless chocolate chip cookie” that uses almond flour. You can search it up top or I can send it to you. Thanks!

      1. Ryan Montes says:

        Do you mind sending it to me ?

  69. Jo says:

    Just curious, in your picture above it shows almond extract but the recipe says vanilla extract. I want to confirm. I didn’t read through all of the comments, so this may have already been asked. Thank you.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Good eye! I actually photographed the wrong thing…it’s supposed to be vanilla extract! I’ll make sure to note that above the picture. Thank you!!

  70. Sam says:

    Made them last week and they were a hit with my son and husband!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      So glad to hear it!! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

  71. Kristen says:

    Made these with Bob’s One to one gluten free baking flour and they cane out great!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Oh that’s awesome! I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing the gluten free version 🙂

  72. Andrea says:

    As soon as I saw the picture of the cookies, specially the one cut in the middle with the chocolate chip still melting, I grabbed the recipe. I am enjoying every bite of those moist banana chocolate chip cookies.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yay! I’m so glad to hear it! Enjoy!!

  73. Astrid says:

    This looks Yummy! Do you have the proportions in grams? I would like to try them but a bit lost with cup and teaspoon. How much 11/4 cup for flour in grams ?
    Thanks !

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Thanks so much! Unfortunately I don’t have a quick way to convert the proportions to grams for the blog. However, the flour is 150grams total. Hope that helps! Thank you 🙂

  74. Yamaris Arbitman says:

    Delicious and easy to make especially with children. Loved the cake like texture.

  76. Anna-Sophie says:

    Just made these banana chocolate chip cookies yesterday and they were so good?? Already ate them all ?

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      So glad to hear that you enjoyed them!! Thanks so much for sharing!

  77. Jessica says:

    I can’t count how many batches of these I have made in the 2 weeks since finding this recipe!! It is currently 11pm and I am up making another batch because I am craving them! I have never been a cookie person until now. These are addicting!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Wow, that makes me so happy to hear! Thanks so much for sharing!

  78. Dana says:

    I accidentally added 2 eggs (I used 1 egg, but it had 2 yolks). I think this is why my cookies came out super cake like. I still have some of the batter left and would love to salvage the rest. What can I add? Thanks so much!!!!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Hi there! I think the cookies are actually on the softer side, but if you add 2 tablespoons of flour, you should be able to get a better consistency! Hope you like them!

  79. A. Merry says:

    Great recipe!!! My family really loved it, so thank you! I will definitely make them again!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      So happy to hear that! Thank you so much for leaving such a positive review!

  80. Rosemary says:

    I baked the banana chocolate chip cookies recipe and they were absolutely delicious. My husband and I ate every one I baked! I made more the following day. I surprised myself that I could bake cookies as great as these. Thank you for this great chocolate chip recipe.

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yay! So glad to hear you’ve already made two batches and enjoyed them so much! Thanks for sharing!!

  81. Zainab says:

    These cookies are everything!! They reminded me of choc chip banana cake, except a lot faster to make hehe. Yum yum!!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yay! I’m so glad you like them! 🙂

    2. Latifa says:

      Loved the cookies, so delicious! But can you tell me why I did wrong, they came out golden at the bottom but didn’t get any color on the top. How can I fix that?

      1. Yumna Jawad says:

        I’m so glad you loved the cookies. Because we’re using less butter than traditional cookies, that tends to happen with these. As long as you remove them from the oven when they become golden brown and let them cool off on a wire rack, then you’re fine. They’re going to be a little lighter and softer on the top and that’s completely normal.

  82. Judith says:

    Used whole wheat flour and extra baking soda, less sugar. Delicious recipe!!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      So glad to hear it! Thank you for sharing your feedback 🙂

  83. JenniferJen says:

    These were sooooo yummy!!! I make regular chocolate chip cookies all the time so I compare every other cookie to that. And most of the time it doesn’t live up, but this was different and so good!!! And my kids loved it too! Thank you for the recipe, it was perfect. 🙂

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yay! So glad to hear that you loved them so much!! We are obsessed with them too and can’t get enough! Thanks so much for sharing!!

  84. Cassandra says:

    Delicious!!!!! My kiddos can’t stop eating them… And me neither!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yay! So excited to hear that! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  85. Sydney says:

    Hello! I was just wondering if you have to use an electric mixer or would mixing it with a utensil be okay? This recipe looks really easy and delicious and something healthy for my baby boy and I to enjoy together ?. Thank you for your time!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Hi there, you don’t have to use an electric mixer. If you have a whisk though that will really help especially with creaming the butter and sugar. Hope you enjoy the cookies with your baby boy!

  86. Amy says:

    Yes. Followed your recipe and got to enjoy those delicious cookies
    Thanks for all your recipes.

  87. Rena says:

  89. elaine k says:

    hello, can we substitute vanilla extract with vanilla powder?

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      Yes that would work!
