    ⭐Why This Recipe Works

    • A great way to use too-ripe bananas
    • Cookies turn out crispy and chewy
    • Banana and chocolate flavors work so well together


    🥣Ingredient Notes

    • 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.

    📋Step by Step Instructions


    STEP 1: 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.

    STEP 2: Add the mashed bananas to a large bowl and add melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix.

    STEP 5: Next, add in chocolate chips.

    STEP 6: Mix the chocolate chips until they have been incorporated into the mixture.

    STEP 7: 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 in between cookies.

    STEP 8: Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges have started to brown. This will insure that the edges are crispy while the center remains chewy.

    STEP 9: Remove the cookies from the oven, let them sit for a minute or two, and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

    👩🏻‍🍳Expert Tips

    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.


    🤷🏻‍♀️Recipe FAQs

    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.

    Can you add nuts to these cookies?

    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.
