Step 1: Preheat oven: Set oven to 400°F and grease your cookie sheets. Don’t forget this step like I almost did.
Step 2: Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Step 3: Cream butter and sugar: In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This is where things start looking promising.
Step 4: Add wet ingredients: Mix in mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla until combined. It might look a little messy. That’s normal.
Step 5: Combine mixtures: Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 6: Add chocolate chips: Stir them in generously. This is not the time to hold back.
Step 7: Scoop dough: Drop spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets. Give them some space.
Step 8: Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden. They won’t get super crispy. That’s just who they are.
Step 9: Cool: Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely. Or eat one early and accept that it’s very soft.
