# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with nonstick spray.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar using a stand mixer or hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
03 -
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Mix until fully integrated.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
05 -
Gradually add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined to preserve a tender texture.
06 -
Gently fold mashed bananas and chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring an even distribution throughout.
07 -
Use a large cookie scoop to drop evenly sized dough portions onto the lined baking sheet, spacing cookies adequately apart.
08 -
Bake for approximately 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use fully ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
02 -
To achieve thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
03 -
Avoid overmixing the dough once dry ingredients are incorporated.
04 -
For optimal storage, layer cookies with parchment in an airtight container.
