Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling 2-3 ripe bananas and mashing them in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  2. Mix in 1/3 cup of vegetable oil and 1 cup of light brown sugar until well combined and glossy.
  3. Add one egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until smooth.
  4. Whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined without overmixing.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
  7. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space in between.
  10. Bake for 10-11 minutes, until edges are set but centers still look slightly underbaked.
  11. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Enjoy your freshly baked cookies with a glass of milk or store in an airtight container.
