Description

Delicious brown butter banana bread cookies loaded with chocolate chips — rich, moist, and easy to make. Perfect for using overripe bananas and pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1½ cups brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 egg yolks, room temperature
  • ½ cup mashed banana (about 2 small-medium bananas)
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until it turns golden and nutty, about 5 minutes; remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Add vanilla extract and egg yolks, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Stir in mashed banana until evenly blended.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch; whisk to distribute evenly.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms — do not overmix.
  8. Fold in semisweet chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips until just combined.
  9. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart; lightly press the tops and sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
  10. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers look slightly puffed.
  11. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

For deeper flavor, brown the butter fully and let it cool before using. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes yields thicker cookies. Substitute half the flour with oat flour for a nuttier texture.
