Scale
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add wet ingredients: Beat in the mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon if using.
- Combine and bake: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
