- 1 cup butter room temperature, 2 sticks

- Add the 2 bananas to a small bowl. Using a fork, mash them up and set aside. They will turn brown if you plan on letting them sit too long. To prevent this, add a little lemon juice to the mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, Beat with a hand mixer on medium until light and fluffy.
- Add in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Beat just until the bananas are worked in.
- In a medium bowl, add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch, Whisk to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until the flour is worked into the cookie dough.
- Set aside 1/3 cup of the milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Stir in the remaining chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
- Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookies onto the prepared cookie sheet spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Add 3 to 4 chocolate chips from the reserved 1/3 cup to the tops of each ball of cookie dough.
- Place into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or a paper towel lined counter.
