Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 medium Ripe banana
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups Light brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups Milk or dark chocolate chunks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth.

Step 4

Add the melted unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the mashed banana. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and egg, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until no dry streaks remain (do not overmix).

Step 7

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk or dark chocolate chunks to evenly distribute throughout the dough.

Step 8

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop 1.5-tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly soft.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
