  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you to get evenly sized cookies. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to cook as they cool.

These light and fluffy banana chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With their sweet banana flavor and gooey chocolate chips, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you have some ripe bananas, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
