Soft, chewy, and packed with flavor, these peanut butter banana chocolate chip cookies are the perfect dessert for any occasion. The combination of peanut butter, banana, and chocolate creates a chewy, rich, and perfectly sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1/2 cup peanut butter. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream them together until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and mix until well combined.
  4. Mix in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 mashed ripe bananas. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
  7. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly. Lightly flatten each cookie for a uniform shape.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.’, ‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too soft or sticky.’, ‘Remove cookies from the oven as soon as the edges turn golden brown.’, ‘Experiment with mix-ins like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or cinnamon.’]
