The first thing I did was google banana chocolate chip cookies to see what was out there. I didn’t intend to invent my own recipe for these, but what I found overwhelmingly was a lot of recipes for very cakey banana cookies. In fact the recipe inventors talked about how excited they were that their cookies were so cakey. I started this journey by making one of those recipes, and they were very good, but they were more like muffin tops than cookies. That wasn’t what I wanted at all! I wanted more of a true chewy chocolate chip cookie with banana in it. And so I began testing cookie recipes. It took 8 batches of cookies to get these right, but they are absolutely perfect.

I learned from my days of baking for a vegan friend that bananas are a substitute for eggs. I tried these cookies several times with different amounts of eggs plus the bananas, but ultimately any amount of eggs I added made the cookies too cakey. But with the eggs omitted completely and using just one large banana these cookies became the perfect chewy cookie.

These cookies are moist, have a bit of a crunchy exterior, but are still soft inside, and taste amazing.
