Ingredients
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mash the ripe bananas in a small bowl until mostly smooth.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
4. Mix in the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until combined.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
8. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
9. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart.
10. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
11. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and softest texture.
Chill the dough so the cookies stay thick and tender while baking.
Do not overbake because the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
