Method
 

How to Make Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. In a large bowl, combine melted butter (or oil), packed brown sugar, and mashed banana. Stir until well blended and creamy.
  2. Next, incorporate the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until no dry flour remains.
  4. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, then let the dough rest for about 15 minutes while the oven preheats.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop approximately one-inch spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes until puffed and slightly set around the edges.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
