Last week I got a great deal on fresh bananas at our local Farmer’s Market and picked up 5 lbs. of bananas. I decided to freeze most of them in the freezer so I could use them when I make smoothies or homemade ice cream but left a few out to make a batch of cookies.
These cookies have a nice moist and cake-like consistency to them and are very good! Enjoy!
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and granulated sugar using an electric hand mixer. Beat in the large egg until combined. In another large mixing bowl mashed up the bananas with the baking soda. Let this mixture sit for 3-4 minutes and then beat the banana mixture into the first mixing bowl. Mix together the all-purpose flour, salt and ground cinnamon until combined. Beat this mixture into the first batter bowl and then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line your cookie sheets with a silicone non-stick baking mat. Drop cookie dough onto the baking sheet using a tablespoon and leaving 2″ of space between each cookie. Bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until done. Remove and let them cool on a baking rack and then store cookies in an airtight container.

The only thing i’ve had with chocolate and banana together is the drink.I would never think to use banana when making cookies.Can’t wait to try this
I love using bananas in baking because it allows me to cut out some of the fat and sugar from the recipe. I am sure the bananas make the chocolate chip cookies moist and delicious.
Love to try this
Mmmmm. I’ve made cookie bars with banana, but not drop cookies–yet! I love baking with bananas, and I love the combination of chocolate and bananas, so these cookies are going on my must-make list. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
oh oh banana and chocolate chips I’m not going to rest content until I make these – they look great and I love the combo – I never thought of combining these ingredients together – but it works!!!
Sometimes when I make these…I substitute the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips…trust me, it’s equally as delicious!
I make chocolate chip cookies all the time for my niece & nephews, but I never thought of adding banana! I’ll give it a try.
