Make these unique banana bread chocolate chip cookies for a soft, chewy dessert that tastes just like your favorite banana loaf in cookie form. This easy recipe yields bakery style banana cookies perfect for using overripe bananas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas until just combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and any optional nuts.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For a thicker, bakery style cookie, slightly mound the dough.
  8. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden, but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and moisture in your banana bread cookies.
  • For extra gooey banana chocolate chip treats, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls right before baking.
  • If you prefer a flatter cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • This recipe makes soft banana cookies that firm up slightly as they cool.
