Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies: Your One-Banana Wonder

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
3. 3

   In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
4. 4

   Beat in the large egg until just combined, then stir in the vanilla extract. Add the mashed ripe banana and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined.
5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. 6

   Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
7. 7

   Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough (about 1.5 tablespoons per cookie) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. 8

   Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. They will continue to set as they cool.
9. 9

   Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
