Banana Bread-Chocolate Chunk Cookies
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (352 grams)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup butter (12 tablespoons, or 1 1/2 sticks), at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (247 grams)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup well-mashed very ripe banana (from about 2 1/2 large bananas)
- 1 3/4 cups dark and milk chocolate chunks (or chopped chocolate bars)
- Flaky salt, for sprinkling
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. Mix with a fork to distribute everything.
- Cream butter and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer for several minutes, until very light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, and banana. Mix to combine, then scrape down sides and bottom of bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chunks. Mix just to fully combine, but then stop to avoid over-mixing. Refrigerate 1 hour, loosely covered with saran wrap.
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 350u0b0F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a 1.5-ounce scoop to make mounds of dough on cookie sheets spaced about 3 inches apart. Sprinkle each with a big pinch of flaky salt (don't skimp-it really balances these out). Bake 14 to 16 minutes, until cookies are puffed up, starting to turn golden around the edges, and the middles look set. Let cool on trays a few minutes, then transfer to cooling racks. Repeat with remaining batter.
