Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until creamy and well combined, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the vanilla extract and egg into the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until fully integrated. Then, mix in the mashed banana until smooth.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, using the mixer on low speed, until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or spoon.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
