1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½ sticks butter 12 TBS
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 TBS vegetable oil
1 large overripe banana
3.5 oz dark chocolate bar, such as Ghirardelli, rough chopped into odd shaped bits or ½ cup of chocolate chips (or more to taste) NOTE Some Ghirardelli bars are 4 oz, either works.

Add in egg, vanilla, oil and banana and mix until combined.
Add in dry ingredients and chopped chocolate / chocolate chips, mixing until combined.
Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and link a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a cookie scoop or place about 1.5 TBS of dough for each cookie, spread out and pat the dough mound down just a bit.
Bake for 9-11 minutes and enjoy!

Refrigerating your cookie dough for 30 minutes is recommended for best results.

Use a small cookie scoop to form, place on baking sheet and press down a bit on the top of each cookie before baking to slightly flatten them.
