Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Author: Emmy Carter

  • Yield: 12 cookies 1x

Description

These Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies combine the comforting flavor of ripe bananas, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla with plenty of chocolate chips or chunks. Finished with flaky sea salt, these cookies are a delicious twist on classic chocolate chip cookies and banana bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/3 cup mashed ripe banana
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare and measure all the ingredients. Mash the ripe banana and measure 1/3 cup.
  2. Prepare the butter according to the original recipe’s instructions, then combine it with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
  3. Add the egg yolk, mashed banana, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix until a cookie dough forms, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving room between the cookies for spreading.
  7. Bake at the temperature and for the duration specified in the original recipe, checking for the recommended visual signs of doneness.
  8. Sprinkle the baked cookies with flaky sea salt as directed. Allow them to cool appropriately before transferring and serving.

Notes

  • Use a ripe banana and measure exactly 1/3 cup of mashed banana to help maintain the intended dough consistency.
  • Chocolate chips and chocolate chunks both work well. Choose semisweet or dark chocolate for a less-sweet contrast.
  • Let the cookies cool before storing them in an airtight container. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a sweet-and-salty finish.
