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 🙂

Great recipe, and quite forgiving! Without thinking, I used a stick and a half of butter from another recipe. And I only had one large banana. I’d had a power outage and so my electric range and the oven was showing 287° maximum. So I baked them in my microwave combi air fryer. And they came out fine. Then I finally figured out that 287° is Celsius and I was able to change it to maximum 550. And I baked the rest in my regular oven. They both came out really well. And I love how flat the cookies are.

Deliciosas 😋

Literally my favorite recipe. I make these a lot. I tweak them a little but they’re amazing. I add cinnamon and raw cane sugar. Even did some strawberries and white chocolate chips

Great cookies!
Also, I can confirm they are completely idiot proof. I did not have enough butter so I guestimated a bit of canola oil to compensate. The butter came straight from the fridge too so I couldn’t properly cream it with the sugar, meaning when I mixed everything together there were still very visible chunks of butter. Then because I’m hella impatient as a person, I never bothered to chill the whole thing first and just tossed it in the cold oven to bake. Oh and I didn’t do circle cookies thing so I just did one big mono-cooki on the baking sheet to cut up afterwards. Cookies tasted amazing. Texture was fantastic. Fool proof recipe. I can confirm, for I am the fool.

Lacked flavour. Wouldn’t make them again.

Just what I was imagining the taste and texture would be like. My new favorite banana Recipe! Thank you!!
I did everything exact. Baked for 10 mins.
Perfection!
Thank you again!

These were SO good even with all the substitutions I made. Sorry!! I subbed the brown sugar for date powder and the granulated sugar for raw cane sugar.
They were absolutely delicious and my teen loved the fact that they had no oats in them!
Mel Brueggemann says

I have tried for years different recipes for cookies and always had fluffy cookies. These came out perfectly flat and chewy. So amazing! Must be the lack of egg? Anyways THANKYOUUUU!
Patti Schneider Farrell says
I bake all the time and love trying new recipes and ways to use old bananas. I just realized there are no eggs in the recipe?I am mixing the dough now. Can’t wait to try them! I live flat, mushy cookies!

Shannon says
I’m kind of obsessed with these right now! And just wanted to share that I sub apple sauce for the butter and they are still phenomenal.
