The Monkey Made Me Make 'em! (banana Ch.chip Cookies)

Submitted by Katrina

"I just came up with this one after basing it off several recipes. I had 2 use up some extra banana and was in the mood for cookies and chocolate, and a healthier alternative. These fit that bill and taste great, like a chocolate covered banana!!"

these are fabulous! I just made them this morning and they're like muffins that think they're cookies (or vice versa). very easy to make and super yummy. thanks for the recipe :)

I've made cake like cookies before and loved them, but these were not what I was expecting, almost like a muffin, the texture just was'nt there for me. If your looking for a cookie recipe this is not one I would try.

This was the worst recipe that I have ever baked do not waste your time, too many wonderful cookies out there.

Fabulous! At first, I thought the batter may be too gooey/runny after mixing; but they bake up beautiful and puffy. Don't overbake.I will definately make again.

I altered the recipe only slightly. Used 1 cup regular sugar since i didn't have brown. used vanilla pudding(thank god, because if i used banana cream they would have tasted too much like bananas) and i used 1/2 choc chip and 1/2 peanut butter chips since i didn't have enough chocolate. they were wonderful and we finished them all up!
