Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 ½ cup unsalted butter (3 sticks), softened
1 3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 2 cups chocolate chips and 3/4 cup mini)

Steps:

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter, brown and granulated sugar together on medium speed, beating until light and fluffy about 2-3 minutes. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated on low speed. Turn mixer up to medium-high and mix for 1 minute.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed. Add the cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix for 30 seconds then slowly add the flour. Mix until fully incorporated.
Add the chocolate chips and either beat for a few seconds on low speed or fold in by hand.
Drop 2 tablespoons of the dough or roll into balls onto a lined baking sheet. Top with more chocolate chips if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 1 hour or longer. (Overnight or a couple of days works too.) Or chill for 20-25 minutes in the freezer.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 F. Spread cookie dough on baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are just golden. Make sure not to over bake, the cookies will set up as they cool.
Remove from oven, let cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, and then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling. (Store in an airtight container.)

BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES

Banana Oatmeal Cookies image

To help interest my kids in cooking, I started with this recipe from my childhood. My mom made these oatmeal banana cookies when I was young. Now my children like them as much as I did, and we quadruple the recipe to serve our large family. You can't eat just one of these goodies packed with chocolate morsels. -Jaqueline Wilson, Armstrong Creek, Wisconsin
