Ingredients
-
1 small overripe banana, mashed (should measure 1/4 cup – discard excess)
-
1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
-
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
-
1 egg yolk*
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
2/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, oil or melted butter, and brown sugar until smooth.
-
Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
-
Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Only one egg yolk is used for a chewier texture—avoid using the whole egg to prevent cakey cookies.
-
These cookies taste amazing fresh out of the oven but also stay soft for days in an airtight container.
