Description

Delight in these Classic Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies, combining the moist, rich flavors of banana bread with the irresistible indulgence of chocolate chip cookies. Perfectly soft and chewy, these cookies are a delicious treat that balances sweet cinnamon and nutmeg with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas and bursts of semi-sweet chocolate.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1.5 large ripe bananas (well-speckled for natural sweetness)
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.33 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add vegetable oil, brown sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Mix Dough: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure pockets of chocolate in every cookie.
  6. Scoop Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place dollops of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set but still soft.
  8. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use well-ripened, speckled bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and tender.
  • Feel free to use dark or milk chocolate chips according to preference.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can freeze the dough balls for later baking; bake directly from frozen adding a couple of extra minutes to baking time.
