Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Please update your googles readers! http://feeds.feedburner.com/howsweeteats/smSp
I had about 4 very ripe bananas, and wanted to do something other than banana bread or cupcakes. I love bananas from the point of them being yellow until they turn very brown. I usually freeze them for shakes, but these ones were really on their last leg.
I didn’t want to throw them away and my husband only eats green bananas. I know. He is a strange fellow.
After staring at them for 25 minutes, I knew a cookie was in order.
These were so ripe. As in, ‘I can’t peel the skin off without mashing the banana’ ripe. Perfect!
There is something about mashing bananas that I just love. Perhaps it is because I picture smashing the daylights out of a certain stuffed turkey.
Perhaps I just really love to mash bananas with a fork.
The dough was incredibly tasty.
I would know because I consumed spoonful after spoonful after spoonful after . . .
Wait.
That’s not very motivating for the New Year.
The cookies have a cake-like texture. It is like eating a tiny slice of banana bread.
Or in my case, an entire loaf.
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
from allrecipes
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed bananas
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 400 .
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together, and set aside.
Cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the mashed bananas. Add the flour mixture, and stir until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
I hope you try these and love them as much as I did. Beware: you may consume an entire loaf of banana bread in the process.
Now, I must get back to lounging around and not cleaning up the kitchen. I’m enjoying watching Paula Deen fry sugar-free ice cream too much. That sounds like an oxymoron.

For the past couple of days I’ve been trying to figure out what to make for a team in my department that are moving to another department. I know I wanted to have bananas in it because I love bananas (it shouldn’t matter I wasn’t going to eat any of the treats) and these cookies are what I made ^_^. My batch of uneven sized cookies made 25 :D. Brother who got to taste them first said it was delicious.
These were great! However, in my oven at 400 degrees they only took about 6 minutes to cook before the bottoms were done. Luckily I checked on them right in time! They came out great – they almost taste banana chocolate chip pancakes! Yum!
These are amazing!! Perfect texture, perfect taste… there was almost no more left ‘cuz I ate most of batter ;)
Baking them right now at midnight…lol. They smell so good and the batter tastes excellent. Wish they would cook faster. Lol. Thanks for the recipe.
In the oven now, Dough is delicious. I’m so excited to find a recipe for those ripe bananas
I didn’t have chocolate chips so I added cacao nibs from trader joes instead,,they are yummy.
I baked these at 375°, as the first batch seemed too dark and almost burnt at 400°. 🍪 I am in Las Vegas here, though, and it’s already hot and dry in July, lol 🌞 🔥.
