A very moist banana cookie bar. These never last long in my house. Dust with powdered sugar before cutting. I love these as a frozen treat. After cutting, package the bars in snack bags and freeze. Then just pull out a bag and munch whenever you want!

These cookie bars came about when I had a few extra bananas that needed to be used. They are super yummy and really easy to make! After baking they should still be a bit soft and a little gooey. These have been a definite hit!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookie bars will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to create a chewy cookie bar.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the cookie bars from becoming tough.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cookie bars.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and banana last: This will help to prevent the chocolate chips from melting and the bananas from becoming mushy.
  • Bake the cookie bars until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will help to ensure that the cookie bars are cooked through.
  • Let the cookie bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chip banana cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft, chewy, and packed with chocolate chips and banana flavor. The cookie bars can be made in advance and stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you are ready to serve, simply thaw them at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
