Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, combine well. Mix in the mashed banana. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda, then mix into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate for at least one hour before baking. The batter will be wet, much like banana bread, and it will just spread everywhere if it’s not chilled.

When you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat oven to 375. Spoon the dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment or a silpat, being sure to space them about 2″ apart. Bake at 375 for 10-13 minutes until just slightly golden brown. Let cool slightly before digging in!
