  1. These were delicious! I made these healthier by using Splenda, whole wheat flour, and sugar-free chocolate chips. All in all they were delicious and made two dozen by using heaping teaspoons. Made for the Dining Daredevils, ZWT5
     
  2. I'm having a real hard time knowing how to rate these cookies. They were very easy to throw together and the directions are clear and precise, but hubby and I didn't really care for them. My dilemma is that everyone else that tried them loved them, so, it's obviously just a preference problem and not a recipe problem. They produce a very 'bananaey' cake-like cookie, so, if that's what you're looking for, these will be great for you!
     
  3. This recipe makes soft cake-like cookies. I've made it once as written, and once with the addition of peanut butter. I replaced half of the butter with creamy peanut butter, and about a third of chips were peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips. Both ways are tastier, but given how I feel about peanut butter with banana with chocolate (YUMMY!), I'll probably stick to my variant with peanut butter. My children love "soft cookies with chocolate chips!!!"
     
  4. Exactly what I was looking for in a cookie. I tripled the recipe, but only added three cups of flour. They spread out nicely, making each cookie appear larger than it should be. Wonderful when you have kids who think they want a big cookie, but can never finish a big cookie. Thank you for a reliable and tasty cookie!!!
     
  5. These were really good. Quick and easy!
