Ingredients for Banana Chip Cookies

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
  • Banana
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Milk Chocolate Chips

How to Make Banana Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork and add them to the butter-sugar mixture along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup peanut butter chips, 1 cup chocolate chips, or a combination of both.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
