Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was looking at the very ripe bananas that I had on my counter and I had planned on making banana bread with them tonight but then I had an idea...I thought to myself, "I bet I could make banana bread into a cookie...humm." The verdict? I may never make banana bread again! EVER! These cookies are so delicious! And I love that they are a cookie instead of a loaf of bread...no slicing required! Cookies are much more 'user friendly!'

Here's the recipe...I may need to make a few more corrections to fine tune this but this is a very good start. YUM!
Cream together:
1 C margarine, softened
1 C sugar

Add & mix well:
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 egg

In a separate bowl whisk together:
3 to 3 1/4 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

Add half of this to the banana mixture and mix well. Then add the rest and mix well again.

Stir in:
1 C Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

Use a medium scoop and scoop onto cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until edges just start to brown. ENJOY!

    You & I were on the same page, I made Banana Frosted Bars the same day- what can I say great minds think alike! these cookies look yummy though! Will definately have to try. Remember all the bean and cheese burritos we used to make :) at least we have evolved a little.

    I tried these last night, LaDona...SO GOOD! I am a sucker for cookie dough so I was curious as to how it would taste as dough and it took a lot of control to put them on the cookie sheets and bake them -- I just wanted to eat the dough! YUMMY YUMMY! Thanks for the recipe!
