Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.

- Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use an extra ripe banana for the best flavor and texture.
- For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- You can also add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
