• servings: 36 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 27 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ bananas (ripe to overripe)

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup melted butter (if using salted omit adding salt)

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white granulated sugar

3 cups all purpose flour

2 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 ½ cup chocolate chips (1 cup in batter, remaining 1/2 cup to top cookies with)

Directions

In a small mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas with a fork. Once mashed, add remaining 'wet ingredients' and stir with a whisk until fully combined. *ensure butter is at least cooled to room temperature before combining.

In a separate medium sized bowl, combine 'dry ingredients' (except chocolate chips) and whisk until combined. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until smooth.

Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips to cookie dough and mix until fully combined.

Scoop cookies* onto a foil lined pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Using remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on each cookie top.Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour, and a maximum of 8 hours. (we recommend about a 2 tbsp scoop of cookie dough)

When ready to bake, remove plastic wrap, and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-14 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown and cooked through.
