Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies combine mashed ripe banana with brown and granulated sugars, melted butter, baking soda, salt, flour, dark chocolate chunks, and finely chopped walnuts. The dough is chilled before baking, resulting in cookies that are puffy with medium golden edges and a soft texture once cooled. The bananas add natural sweetness and moisture, while the dark chocolate and walnuts provide rich flavor and a pleasing bite.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup banana from 2 bananas, mashed
- 2/3 cups brown sugar firmly packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 ounces dark chocolate chunks chopped, or chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup walnuts finely chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the mashed banana, brown sugar, sugar and melted butter. Whisk until smooth. Don’t be shy to break up any banana bits as you’re whisking. You want it pretty smooth. Add in the baking soda and salt. Mix again.
- Add the flour and, switching to a spatula, fold it in. Pour in the chocolate chunks or chips and walnuts. Fold them in until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Scoop out 6 balls of dough and roll each one in between your palms. Space them about 3 inches apart. Bake them in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are medium golden brown. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough. The cookies will be a bit puffy and will fall as they cool. Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.

Notes
- Use moderately ripe bananas with some brown spots for best flavor, not fully brown ones.
- Chill the dough for at least one hour before baking to help manage spreading and texture.
- Finely chop walnuts to enhance texture and mouthfeel.
- Cookies freeze well; store dough or baked cookies in airtight containers for later use.
