Tips for the best banana bread chocolate chip cookies
- Use an overripe banana. You know that banana your kids will not touch and you are not sure how long it lasted on your counter. The riper the banana, the more banana flavor and sweetness it will have.
- Don’t over mix the batter. Over mixing can lead to a dry texture and more of a bread type consistency. Mix just to the point that the ingredients are incorporated.
- Do not overbake them. You want your cookies just starting to show brown along the bottom edges and the middles still slightly under baked.
- Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet as soon as possible. Leaving the cookies on a hot baking sheet will just let the cookies continue to cook. Place the cookies on a baking rack once you remove them from the stove.
