It’s been awhile since I made cookies, so when I found this old recipe of my Mom’s that would use up some of my very ripe bananas I decided to give it a try.

And yes they were loved by all! I added nuts to mine but you can leave them out if you wish.

How to make Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies:

  1. Cream the butter and sugar, add the egg, banana and vanilla and beat. Whisk the dry ingredient together.
  2. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine with either a wooden spoon or spatula. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using).
  3. Drop by spoonfuls on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
  4. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. Let cool before serving.

What are the best nuts to mix with Bananas?

I prefer to mix pecans or walnuts with bananas but you can also use:

  1. peanuts
  2. macadamia nuts
  3. almonds
  4. cashews
  5. hazelnuts

How to Ripen Bananas:

These cookies are made with ripe bananas, but if your bananas are not quite ripe, the easiest way to ripen them is to place the bananas in a paper or plastic bag together with an unpeeled, uncut apple, pear, or even a tomato.

If you don’t have one of these then another banana will work also. Leave them to ripen at room temperature, not in the refrigerator.

It will take a green banana approximately 4 days to ripen, if the bananas are already slightly yellow than 1-2 days should be enough.

More Easy Cookie Recipes:

  • Easy Strawberry Cookies
  • Thick Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Italian Orange Ricotta Cookies
  • Nutellotti Cookies – Nutella Cookies

So if you have any leftover Bananas and you want something different other than Banana Bread or Banana Cake I hope you give these Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies a try! Enjoy.
