With a rich banana flavor and soft, chewy texture, these banana cookies are a unique and fun twist on a traditional chocolate chip cookie.
Recipe includes a how-to video!
Ingredients
⅔ cup well-mashed very-ripe bananas (185g, this is typical 1 ½ bananas for me)
1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled until no longer warm to the touch (226g)
1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed (200g)
⅔ cup granulated sugar (135g)
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon table salt
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups chocolate chips use either milk chocolate or semisweet, or a blend of the two! (255g)
1 cup chopped walnuts optional (115g)
Instructions
Combine well-mashed banana, melted/cooled butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir well until completely combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add flour mixture to butter/banana mixture until completely combined (do this in 3-4 parts).
Add chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, and stir until well-combined.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
Once dough has nearly finished chilling, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoops and drop on prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2” apart.
Bake in 350F (175C) oven for 12-14 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Interestingly, I’ve found that the fresher these cookies are the stronger the banana flavor is!
