Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Ripe banana, mashed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, and mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft. Do not overbake as they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
