Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and cake-like with chocolate chips and a subtle banana flavor - great for using up ripe bananas!
Servings: 24 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ½ cup ripe banana about 1 banana
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar and butter until well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg, mashed banana and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and process at low speed, just until a few streaks of flour remain. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and fold any visible flour in by hand with a rubber spatula. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a 1.5 tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, scoop the batter and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. They will be softer than traditional chocolate chip cookies.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes
My Top Tip: If you have time, chill your cookie dough! Chilling the 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.
Storage: These cookies will stay fresh in a sealed, air-tight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
Freezing: To freeze your cookies, place them on a baking sheet, place the sheet in the freezer for a couple of hours, and when they're hardened, place them into a freezer safe airtight container for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat, you can bake them directly from frozen!
