Cooking Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
-
In another bowl, cream together the melted butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Add in the vanilla extract, mashed banana, and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix well until fully combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick cookie dough forms.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Flatten each dough mound slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers to form chunky cookie shapes.
-
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the tops are set.
-
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
