Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Cream Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add Bananas
- Stir in the mashed ripe bananas until just combined; do not overmix.
Combine Wet and Dry
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Bake Cookies
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Cool and Serve
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients. Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness. Do not overmix the dough, as this can lead to tougher cookies.
