Kids LOVE cookies! And so do we adults, of course. With back-to-school (or work) lunches soon making an appearance, adding a special little treat now and again to a healthy lunch box is a lovely surprise. Today I’m sharing our banana chocolate chip recipe with you. These little bites are light and fluffy and have been described as little muffin cookies!
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients
- 2¼ C Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Baking Soda
- 1 C Margarine
- 2 Eggs
- 1 C Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 C Chocolate chips
- 1 C Mashed ripe banana
How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
1) Mix the first 4 ingredients together.
2) Mix the next 4 ingredients together.
3) Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend well.
4) Stir in the chocolate chips and banana.
5) Drop the cookie dough onto greased cookie sheets.
6) Bake at 400C for 12-15 minutes.
Now that your family have tried these moist and delicious banana chocolate chip cookies they’ll be asking for them over and over again! They’re one of our top-requested treats. Good thing they are easy to whip up and they even make use of that bruised and over-ripe banana that’s been travelling back and forth in the lunch box all week!
If you like cookies, why don’t you try soft ginger cookies, triple chocolate chip cookies, or Grandma’s Jam Jams. And don’t forget to see our tempting treats page where we have our full collection of delicious naughtiness.

Bananas were made for chocolate, weren’t they? I have a few of these cookies tucked away in the freezer for when company comes unexpectedly…or maybe for a homeschooling mother-parent conference 😉

Your sous chef is adorable!
I have made banana chocolate chip muffins, but never cookies. And I have an overripe banana on the counter… hmm…

Never tried cookies with banana in before. They look great!
Crystal McClean says
These were the first banana cookies I’d tried, and we’re hooked! Similar yet very different than banana bread….Give them a try!
