Step-by-Step Instructions for Soft and Chewy Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
  3. Combine the melted butter or oil with the mashed bananas and light brown sugar until glossy.
  4. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Whisk together the other dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no flour streaks remain.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
  8. Let the dough rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  9. Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
