Instructions
Makes 12 cookies
- Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Begin by making the brown butter since it will need about 25-30 mins to cool. In a heavy saucepan heat butter over Medium heat to begin the browning process. Stir constantly until the butter begins to turn into a golden brown color. It will be foamy and that is ok. Once the butter has reached that beautiful golden brown color remove from the heat and place it on a heat safe bowl to cool.
- Once your butter has cooled Preheat the oven to 350F
- In a large bowl combine your brown butter and sugars and whisk until combined.
- Add the mashed banana, egg and vanilla and whisk until combined.
- Add your sifted dry ingredients (flour,cocoa powder, baking soda and salt) into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix until combined. (Do not over mix)
- Drop the dough balls by 1/4 cup or use a regular size ice cream scoop.
- Bake 6 at a time and if baking two sheets at a time exchange racks half way during baking.
- Bake for 10 mins it will be set on the sides and it will look slightly undone in the center it will continue to bake once out of the oven.
- Once out of the oven carefully fix the shape and add more chocolate chips on top and sprinkle sea salt if you'd like.
- Allow it to cool mostly completely so they're more firm and enjoy!
TIPS
- This cookie dough CANNOT be made in advanced in needs to be baked right away it does not store well.
- The cookie is a little softer than a standard cookie before it's set.
