Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1/2 cup soft unsalted butter Room temperature for easy creaming
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg At room temperature
  • 1 large ripe mashed banana The riper, the better for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Or dried cranberries/raisins for a variation

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the soft butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar on low speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg, mashed banana, and vanilla extract. Continue mixing on low speed until fully combined, about 2 more minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  3. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with butter or honey, perfect with coffee or milk. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, using a slice of bread to maintain moisture.
