Chocolate Chip Banana Cookies

Recipes for banana cookies, like these delicious Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies, were much more common in old cookbooks than they are today.

I'm not sure why, but then again, I tend to like simple homey recipes best.

If you are like me and are drawn to old-fashioned cookies with common ingredients, you are gonna love these Chocolate Chip Banana Cookies.

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, puffy, cake like cookies; not rich and chewy crispy cookies. They are a great to make when you have overripe bananas staring back at you from the counter.

Why not whip up a batch the next time you have 2 or 3 really ripe bananas hanging around. Everyone loves cookies so they are a great alternative to the more expected loaf of banana bread.

For best results, it's best to bake cookies one baking sheet at a time in the center of your oven. I like to use a small cookie scoop when making drop cookies. It speeds up the process and produces cookies that are all nearly the same size. I think it's much easier than using two teaspoons, but they will certainly work. It's the way grandma would have made these yummy banana cookies.

Always remember to begin checking your cookies at the earliest stated baking time and watch them closely until they are done, since they can go from underdone to overdone very very quickly.
