Print Recipe

Soft, chewy cookies combining ripe bananas, peanut butter, and melted chocolate chips for a delicious treat perfect for using up ripe bananas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add the mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Avoid using runny natural peanut butter as it can cause the cookies to fall apart. These cookies have a soft center with a slightly crispy edge, perfect for a chewy texture.
