Preheat the oven to 375F. Mix the sugar and banana in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle until it becomes a mostly smooth paste.
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Add the chocolate chips last and mix.
On a baking tray lined with parchment or foil, scoop the cookie dough into 12 even-sized dough balls.
Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes until the tops begin to have a crinkled look and the sides are firm. They will be soft but will firm up a bit when you allow them to cool. Do not overbake, because they will lose their fudgy texture.
