1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and both sugars. Beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
2
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the peanut butter chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside until needed.
4
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and using a small cookie scoop, or a teaspoon, scoop rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Gently press into the center of each cookie to create a small indent. Place 1 slice of banana in each indent. Place another scoop of cookie dough on top of the banana and, with your hands, carefully press the cookies together to create 1 large cookie.
5
Bake the cookies in the oven until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
6
These cookies last up to 5 days in a sealed container.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
