Elevate your cookie game tonight with the nutty aroma of brown butter and the comforting sweetness of bananas—it's like a warm hug in cookie form!

1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a golden brown color and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Remove from heat and let the browned butter cool slightly.

4

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bananas, and mix well until combined.

5

Stir in the browned butter and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated.

6

Add the egg and mix until well combined.

7

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

8

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

9

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

10

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

11

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

12

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

• Add chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) for added texture and flavor.
• Incorporate a pinch of cinnamon to give a warm spice note to the cookies.
• Substitute half of the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips for a more indulgent treat.

• Ensure your butter is properly browned for a rich nutty flavor; don't rush this step.
• Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
• Don't overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the middle when removed from the oven.
