Ingredients
  

  • ⅔ cup well-mashed very-ripe bananas this is typically 1 ½ bananas for me
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled until no longer warm to the touch
  • 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon table salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cup chocolate chips use either milk chocolate or semisweet, or a blend of the two!
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts optional

Method
 

  1. Combine well-mashed banana, melted/cooled butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir well until completely combined.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Gradually add flour mixture to butter/banana mixture until completely combined (I do this in 3-4 parts).
  4. Add chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, and stir until well-combined.
  5. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
  6. Once dough has nearly finished chilling, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoops and drop on prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2” apart.
  8. Bake in 350F (175C) oven for 12-14 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying.
