Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the banana mixture, stirring just until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips. Dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets. Leave space for spreading.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are just set.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. Don’t overmix to keep cookies tender. Add-ins like walnuts or a sprinkle of sea salt make fun upgrades. Chill dough for 20 minutes if it’s too soft.
