Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of melted butter (or oil) with 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 mashed overripe banana. Stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  2. Incorporate 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the mixture. Mix thoroughly for another minute.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until no dry flour is visible.
  4. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-11 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly underbaked.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
