Baking Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter (or vegetable oil), light brown sugar, and mashed banana. Mix until smooth.
  2. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well integrated.
  3. Gently fold in the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until no dry streaks remain.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Cover and let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough into 1-ounce balls and place on a lined cookie sheet.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look underbaked.
  8. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
