  1. Tried these to use up some very ripe bananas and am tired of banana bread. Used three medium bananas and 1 cup mini dark chocolate chips. I found I had to chill the dough between batches. A very soft, moist cookie -- best to layer with waxed paper as the tops get sticky. I also got 4.5 dozen cookies using my cookie scoop -- bake time for me was 9 minutes per batch.
     
  2. My husband and kids like the flavor but these came out really soft. They come apart taking them off the cookie sheet and kinda fall apart. Like they needed more flour or something.
     
  3. Yummy and GREAT! Highly recommended, thanks so much for sharing.
     
  4. I made these cookies exactly as per the recipe, but doubled it, and added a bag of chocolate chips. It made almost 8 dozen large cookies. They were good, but tasted less of banana that I would have liked. I agree with other reviewers in that they were somewhat cakey, but sort of crispy on the outside. I baked them on parchment paper for 12 minutes, and they came out nicely browned on the bottoms. The grandkids loved them. :-)
     
  5. We really did not like these that much. We thought the flavor was pretty disappointing. If it wasn't for the chocolate chips in them I don; think they would even get eaten.

I live in Canada & am a stay at home mother of 3. I am not much of a cook, learning slowly, thanks to all of your great recipes.I'd like to experiment a bit more but usually end up making kid friendly recipes. Baking is probably my favorite thing to do.
