Banana Chocolate Cookies

These banana chocolate cookies are soft, fudgy, and packed with chocolate in every bite. Made with real banana, Dutch processed cocoa, and chocolate chips, they're somewhere between a brownie and a cookie, and that's exactly what makes them so good.

Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • Hand mixer
  • 2 Mixing bowls
  • Cookie scoop (3-tablespoon cookie scoop)
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 175 g bread flour
  • 25 g Dutch processed cocoa powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 110 g unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 75 g white granulated sugar
  • 75 g light brown sugar
  • 1 egg at room temperature
  • 90 g banana 1 small banana
  • 125 g chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk chocolate

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Beat the butter with the white sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until a paste-like consistency.
  • Add the mashed banana and mix to combine. Then add the egg and beat again.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes or until the dough is firm enough to shape into balls.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop 16 dough balls (I use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in two batches for 11 minutes or until the cookies are puffy, have finished spreading, and the tops no longer look wet.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature for an hour before eating.
Freeze the unbaked dough balls and bake straight from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes to the baking time.
