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 🙂

I made these today. Came out great. I added chocolate chips to some and left some without. I also added in some cinnamon and nutmeg for added flavour. If i were to add pecans, how much would i have to use?

I love these cookies – Thank you for sharing the recipe! I made them four times already, but I’m not sure why they don’t flatten out. They’re still delicious, but it bugs me what I might be doing wrong. I get about 64 cookies in one batch.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Maybe try flattening a bit before baking? That might help!
Diane M says
These are fabulous! Thank you for sharing.

So great that my mother and brother forced me to make them again today 😭. Thank you for sharing this recipe I love it so much !!! 💞

Annie says
So yummy!! I made them last night because we had ripe bananas, and my family was sick of banana bread, but they loved these cookies! The banana is not overpowering and adds a little kick of flavor and a nice soft texture to the cookie. My cookies didn’t spread out at all when i baked them, so they ended up being a little thicker, which was not a bad thing! But I looked it up and realized it was because I’ve been measuring flour incorrectly—I have been directly scooping the flour from the bag with the measuring cup, even though I learned you are supposed to spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with the back of the knife. I also used vegan butter because of a milk allergy, which also may have had an effect. I might also try letting the cookies warm up a little to room temp after being chilled before putting them in the oven. Regardless, it was a delicious cookie that I will make again in the future! Very fun and easy for a new baker. Thank you!
