Ingredients you’ll need
Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these cookies. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.
- Plain/all-purpose flour
- Cocoa powder: For this recipe, I used Hershey’s Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder.
- Baking soda
- Cornflour/cornstarch: Makes for extra thick and soft cookies.
- Salt
- Unsalted butter
- Light brown sugar: Using all brown sugar makes these cookies even more soft and chewy.
- Banana: You’ll need 1 small banana (about 100g), mashed.
- Vanilla extract
- White chocolate chips: If desired, you can use milk, dark, or semi-sweet instead.
How to make Double Chocolate Banana Cookies
To make these cookies, simply start by whisking together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cornflour, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar until combined. Add the banana and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
Add the dry ingredients, mix until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into 1.5oz balls, and place onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Bake for 10 – 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 – 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
The printable recipe card with the full list of ingredients, their measurements, and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.
NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

Will not be making these again. I followed the recipe exactly. It was not loaded with banana flavor. There is no banana flavor. I wish I had tried the recipe in my cook book that’s 20 years old which I will do next time. It calls for 3-4 bananas and oatmeal.
These cookies are amazing! I’ve made them four times and they’ve been a hit with everyone. Thanks for providing the weights for measuring- soo much easier to use the food scale than to get a bunch of measuring cups dirty.
Making these right now, I don’t think they are dry at all. I weighed out the ingredients and used bread flour and dark brown sugar. They don’t spread out very well so I’ve been forming and smooshing them before placing onto the baking sheet (insulated cookie sheet, didn’t use parchment paper) definitely a fudgy-type cookie. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Hi, they were delicious as described but didn’t spread and flatten as the photo shows.
Tried these this afternoon. The cookies have great flavor but we’re slightly dry. I would definitely make the recipe again but would add more liquid.
I’ll stick to British recipes. The conversions are not accurate. My mixture was far too soft and I followed the measurements to the gram.
I am British and I personally weigh my ingredients out (grams) instead of using cup measurements. The grams are accurate, and they come out wonderful every time for me. To firm up soft cookie dough, simply pop in the fridge or freezer for 30 mins – 1 hour.
These cookies were so light and crunchy all of my family loved them and it is now a go to bake and snack for school
I love the double chocolate Banana cookie recipe — so easy to prepare and they are delicious! Your instructions were concise and easy to follow. Anyone could make this recipe. It brings back memories of the banana chocolate cookies that we used to sell as part of the 4-H fundraiser — I have not had Banana chocolate cookies in 45 years! What a treat. Thanks.
