Chocolate chip banana cookies
Chocolate chip banana cookies …super soft, delicious and the perfect way to use up those over-ripe bananas!
Are you tired of making banana bread with old bananas? Try whipping up a batch of these chocolate chip banana cookies! My whole family loves them! I won’t tell you how many I ate. Let’s just say more than one. ;) You could also lighten this recipe up by using applesauce in place of the butter. You could even add some chopped walnuts in as well. My kids are not a fan of nuts, so we didn’t add those this time, but they do add a nice crunch. And you don’t have to add the chocolate chips… but chocolate just makes everything better. I tend to always add in a few extra. ;)

What a great combo! Trying this recipe for sure!
I love the banana addition to these classic cookies! They look so soft & perfect for dunking into a tall glass of milk!
They are a fun change to my normal banana bread! Hope you give them a try! :)
I only have 1 banana and I’m looking for a recipe to use it. These sound delicious! I was just going to do half a recipe, but then it’s only 1 egg and I can’t half that! ;) Any ideas?
Hi Andi! If I need a half an egg, I will just beat the egg first and then add half of it to my recipe. It works great! :)
These look soooo good!
