All the delicious flavor of banana bread in a soft, chewy, moist as can be banana chocolate chip cookie. You'll love EVERYTHING about these banana bread cookies from their indescribably soft texture to how easy they are to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 small overripe banana, mashed (it should measure 1/4 cup–if it’s more just discard the overflow)
  • 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

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and mashed banana. Mix to combine.

  2. 2

    Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir until combined and no streaks of flour remain.

  4. 4

    Last, fold in the chocolate chips. Cover and set aside to let the flour hydrate in the dough while the oven preheats, about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F. Once the oven is preheated use a cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop out about 1 inch dough balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. The dough will be a little wet! Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until the edges are set and the cookies have puffed up, but the middles are still underbaked.
