I participate in several bake sales every month to help our organizations in our community. One thing that I’m always asked to bake are my mom’s banana chocolate chip cookies. They’re moist and jam-packed with flavor. They’re always a big hit at every bake sale that I participate in. Once they’ve cooled, I’ll pack 3-4 cookies in one sandwich bag for the sale.

Even if you’re not doing bake sales…your family will enjoy these cookies. You can use fresh or frozen bananas along with your choice of chocolate chips. I like to use semi-sweet but my sister likes using dark chocolate chips. The choice is yours.
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 to 3 large bananas)
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick baking spray or use a non-stick silicone baking mat.
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.
Drop cookie dough onto the baking sheet using a tablespoon and leaving 2? of space between each cookie. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F. oven for 10-12 minutes or until done. Remove and let them cool on a wire cooling rack. Store cookies in an airtight container.
