Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of mashed overripe banana, 1/4 cup of melted butter or vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup of light brown sugar. Mix until fully blended.
  2. Stir in one egg yolk and one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to your mixture. Blend until well combined.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold until no streaks of flour remain.
  4. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Allow the cookie dough to rest for about 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and portion out dough balls, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers appear slightly underbaked.
  8. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
