Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies-A Quick and Easy Recipe
One of my favorite combinations is Chocolate and Banana. I also love Chocolate and Peanut Butter. I’ve even made some recipes including all three of these things, such as my Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes with Chocolate Chips. But my all time favorite dessert is the simple, classic Chocolate Chip Cookie. I consider myself a Chocolate Chip Cookie connoisseur of sorts. I’ve spent a lot of time looking for the worlds best cookie and also perfecting my own recipe. Amazingly ,one thing I have not tried is making Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies.
In fact, I’ve never even tried a Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie. This completely boggles my mind. So, I was determined not only to try one, but to make up and perfect my own recipe. So, what I’ve done is taken my normal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and tweaked it a bit to include the bananas. Really, the only major change I’ve made in my recipe is that I cut the butter that I use in half and subbed in two very ripe bananas. The result is a very chewy and moist cookie that I can feel great about eating because it has half the butter in it! So, behold the recipe for my Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies-Ingredients
- 2 very ripe bananas
- 2 cups of Flour

- .5 tsp of almond extract

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies-Recipe
Mix the flour, salt and baking soda together. In a separate bowl, mix together the bananas, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix until smooth and then add the dry ingredients. Then add the egg and mix thoroughly. Finally, add the chocolate chunks and chips. I like to use this combination of semi-sweet chocolate chunks and milk chocolate chips. But you can improvise this however you want. I put the cookie batter into the the refrigerator for 10 minutes while the oven preheats to 275 degrees. Don’t immediately bake the cookies. One the the cookie dough is chilled, bake for 10-11 minutes. Immediately take off of the cookie sheet and put onto a cooling rack. Enjoy!
