- ½ cup butter (cooled, melted)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- ⅓ cup mashed banana (very ripe)
- 1 egg yolk (large)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 and ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup nuts (chopped walnuts or pecans)
- 1 cup dried fruit (like dried cranberries or raisins)
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup of cooled, melted butter and 1 cup of packed brown sugar until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in ⅓ cup of mashed banana, 1 egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes until blended and thick.
- Sprinkle in a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the mixture. Stir gently until well combined.
- Gradually fold in 1 and ¾ cups of all-purpose flour until no dry streaks remain, then add in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to maintain shape while baking.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Optionally press extra chocolate chips into the tops of the dough balls before baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for about 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
