    Ingredients For Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

    • Bananas - Make sure to use ripe bananas, as you would for banana bread.
    • Butter - These cookies are made using melted butter which results in a more brownie-like texture.
    • Brown sugar - Using a mix of brown sugar and granulated sugar helps the cookies to spread nicely and imparts a slight caramel flavor from the brown sugar.
    • Rolled oats - Add a chewy texture to the cookies.
    • Chocolate chips - I made this with milk chocolate chips, but semi-sweet would work as well.

    How To Make Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel and mash 2 bananas.

    You can mash the bananas with a fork, but I like using a potato masher. It makes the job quick and easy.

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can also use a silicone mat. Use a cookie scoop to scoop and drop cookie dough on the cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies.

    Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges have started to brown. This will ensure that the edges are crispy while the center remains chewy.

    Remove the cookies from the oven, let them sit for a minute or two, and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

    Tips For Making Chocolate Chip Cookies With Banana

    Tip 1: You can freeze these cookies in a freezer bag with layers separated by parchment paper for up to 3 months.

    Tip 2: Riper bananas will add more sweetness to the cookie. They are also easier to mash than bananas, which are less ripe.

    Tip 3: You can mash the bananas with a fork, but I like using a potato masher. It makes the job quick and easy.


    FAQs For Chocolate Chip Cookie With Banana

    What kind of chocolate chips did you use in this recipe?

    I used milk chocolate chips but semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips would also work.

    Yes, you can add ½ cup of your favorite nuts, chopped. I find pecans and walnuts work particularly well.

    How do I store these cookies?

    You can store these chocolate chip banana cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    Best Cookie Making Tools

    When it comes to making cookies, having the right tools can make all the difference. Start with a good set of mixing bowls and a sturdy whisk or mixer to get that dough perfectly blended. A cookie scoop is a simple must-have for scooping out evenly sized cookies every time, so they bake up nice and uniform.

    Don’t forget parchment paper to prevent sticking and keep cleanup quick. Finally, a quality baking sheet is key to getting the perfect golden edges. With these essentials, baking cookies becomes easier and way more fun!
