Essential ingredients
These are the essential ingredients to make these divine banana chocolate chip cookies. This recipe is sponsored by LIDL Slovenia, as we sourced all the ingredients from their store. You can find more about the ingredients in the following lines.
Bananas - use ripe bananas for their natural sweetness and flavor. If you don't have them at home, feel free to plate the (unpeeled) bananas on a baking sheet and place them in the oven for a couple of minutes for them to brown. Then peel them and use them.
Flour - use all-purpose flour for this recipe.
Baking powder and baking soda will help the cookies to rise.
Sugar - we prefer using white sugar. In this recipe, we use a small amount of sugar, as the bananas already give them sweetness.
Butter - makes the cookies buttery and delicious. Use room-temperature butter. Take it from the fridge about 30 minutes before baking.
Eggs - use two eggs in size M to bring the batter together.
Chocolate—Use your favorite chocolate chips. We prefer semi-sweet chocolate chips, but chocolate chunks will do the job, too.
Storing
Feel free to store Banana chocolate chip cookies at room temperature, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
