How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Softies

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed light brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 2 large ripe mashed bananas, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips.
7. The dough will be soft. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Store these cookies separately from other cookies to prevent the banana flavor from transferring.
