Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 ripe medium bananas, mashed
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line cookie sheets with baking paper or baking mats.
- Beat together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and mashed banana. Beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Turn the mixer to low speed and carefully mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Form the dough into balls about 1 1/2 tablespoons each using a cookie scoop. Drop 2 inches apart on the lined cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8-11 minutes or until the tops look just set and the edges are starting to turn golden.
- Cool on the tray for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For chewier cookies, reduce the banana amount by half. Reserve 1/4 cup chocolate chips to dot on top of cookies after baking for extra chocolate flavor. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can make the cookies easier to handle.
