Chocolate Chip Banana Cookies
I have been cursed with the over-buying bananas gene. I can’t help myself. I buy way TOO many bananas and invariably, 1 or 4 get too ripe for my boys to eat. They’re picky like that. Fortunately, I have a plethora of amazing recipes that call for ripe bananas. Banana bread, banana cake, banana muffins and now I’m finally getting around to this amazing banana cookie recipe.
You’re welcome.
All you need is two ripe bananas and some pantry staples and soon you and and your family will be enjoying a whole new take on cookies. These cookies are so soft and delicious, and somehow, they disappear all too quickly.
These cookies, or variations of them, make a frequent appearance at my house and are one of the most requested cookies from the boys. I don’t mind. They are so easy to pull together and don’t even require eggs which is all the incentive Reece and Bryce need to stick their fingers in the cookie dough.
Next time you’re tempted to throw out those ripe bananas – resist! Make cookies instead! You can thank me later 🙂

Delicious! Was trying to make GF but ran out of my King Arthur flour. Used about 1/2 cup KA flour, about cup rolled oats & almond flour. I don’t love almond flour texture usually but this mix was amazing and a happy accident. I could not cream the butter enough but my cookies had a nice edge on some. I chilled dough maybe 15 mins without the chocolate. I made one batch without choc. Then I crumbled 2 of these sea salt dark chocolate bars they sell at Aldi (the best choc). I have made a similar recipe before and they are my daughter’s favorite. I added a tiny bit of banana extract and also a tsp or 2 of strawberry extract. Used Celtic salt and that really seemed to enhance the flavors. Raw cane sugar & light brown sugar. I cooked a little longer, closer to 12 mins. Most were moist in the center even with crunchy edges. So so good.
