I've been baking lots of banana bread lately and while I love it, I wanted something different to do with my ripe bananas. I found this recipe and tweaked it some to make it mine. They have a very soft, cake-like texture. Enjoy!

Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies ready to be eaten.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Tender and moist, these chocolate chip cookies were a HUGE hit in the Test Kitchen. They're like banana bread in a cookie form. Outside, there are crisp edges like a cookie. Inside, though, it's soft like banana bread. We opted to add chocolate chips and nuts. It's a classic flavor combination in banana bread and works just as well in these cookies.

How To Make banana bread chocolate chip cookies

Step 1

Heat the butter in a small saute pan until it turns brown and smells nutty.

Step 2

Remove from heat and add the white and brown sugars. Let sit for about 5 minutes to cool.
Step 3

Pour into a large mixing bowl and add the egg and vanilla.
Step 4

Mix in banana and sour cream.
Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6

Fold into banana mixture.
Step 7

Fold in chocolate chips and nuts, if desired. Choose your own additions - you could also use raisins, toffee bits, pecans, etc.
Step 8

Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes (dough will still be sticky). Drop a one-inch ball of dough onto cookie sheets 2-inches apart (about 1 1/2 Tbsp).
Step 9

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes or until the edges are brown.
