Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled melted unsalted butter and brown sugar, stirring until well blended.
- Add the mashed ripe banana, egg yolk, and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly until creamy.
- Sprinkle in the salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon, mixing until fully integrated.
- Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour, mixing until no dry streaks remain.
- Gently mix in the semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Once chilled, scoop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the dough balls for a decorative touch, if desired.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden around the edges.
- After baking, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft for days. Chill dough to prevent spreading during baking.
