Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with silicone
  baking mats or lightly spray them with non-stick oil. Set aside.

  baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
• 3 In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle
  attachment, mix the butter and bananas together until well incorporated (about a
  minute). Add the egg and sugar and mix on medium-high for an additional minute.
• 4 Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed for thirty
  seconds. Then increase to medium-high and mix until smooth, stopping to scrape
  down the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary. Stir in the pecans and
  chocolate chips.
• 5 Using a cookie scoop (about 1 and ½ tablespoons), scoop out the batter and place
  the scoops of dough onto the lined baking sheets, leaving a little space between
  each scoop.
• 6 Bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown and set. Allow the cookies to
  cool for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
