Set the oven and prep baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 375°F, line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
Make the batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugars, mashed banana, salt and vanilla. Mix just until everything is evenly incorporated and it's smooth.Add the egg yolks and continue to mix until they are completely blended into the butter mixture.Add the flour with the baking powder and mix only until you no longer see dry spots, and then fold in the chocolate chips.
Shape. Use a cookie scoop to shape the batter -- they should be about 1 generous tablespoon each, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet as you go, with a couple of inches between them.
Bake. Bake in the preheated 375°F oven just until the edges begin to turn golden brown, about 12 minutes. They will still look slightly raw in the center.
Cool. Let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes, and then transfer them carefully to a backing rack to cool to room temperature.
