Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 ripe ripe bananas The riper the bananas, the better the flavor.
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter May be substituted with coconut oil for a vegan option.
  • 1 large egg Can be replaced with flax egg for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda For a fluffier cookie, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Can mix in white chocolate or caramel chips for variation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
  4. Add the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until all is smooth and harmonious.
  5. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, then mix until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the flour until just combined—don’t overmix!
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Spoon the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  10. Allow cooling for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
