Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter 1 stick, softened
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup ripe bananas mashed (~2 bananas)
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare two large sheet pans by spraying with cooking spray or lining them with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Using a stand or hand mixer, beat together the salted butter and white sugar. Beat for 2-3 minutes to incorporate plenty of air. It should be light and fluffy.
- Mix in the mashed ripe bananas, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat for 2-3 minutes again.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Stir well.
- On low speed, add the flour mixture into the batter until just barely combined.
- Use a cookie scooper to scoop two-inch balls of dough onto the sheet pan (I used a 2-inch cooking scoop for this step). Leave two inches between each cookie.
- Bake cookies in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until cookies have puffed up and the edges are lightly golden. Plate and serve.
