SUBMITTED BY: GODGIFU

"When one gets a craving for chocolate, it's usually the magnesium one is craving. Magnesium is found in chocolate, nuts, and bananas, and these cookies are chock-full of all three!"

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup mashed banana
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the mashed banana and peanut butter until well blended. Stir in the brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla until smooth. Combine the flour and baking powder; add to the peanut butter mixture and mix well. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips. Cover and chill dough for at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into walnut sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

I had to change the recipe a little, my boys are allergic to peanuts, so I used soynut butter. I didn't have any brown sugar so I use 3/4 c. of white sugar and dipped my leveling knife into molasses and added that to the mixture. I also took a tip from one of the other reviews and used cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips, and I feel it strengthens the flavor of the banana. The dough was extemely sticky and I wasn't sure how they were going to turn out, but like other reviews it's crisp on the outside with a soft and chewy inside. This is a recipe we will surely keep. It's a different type of cookie, but my boys loved them. It almost seems hard to mess this recipe up, so see what you can come up with.

Im sorry but I did not like these cookies at all. I LOVE the combination of chocolate, peanut butter and banana and I was so excited to try these. I followed the recipe exactly and I took the advice of previous reviews and flattened the cookie before baking. I didnt like the texture, color or taste. sorry!

These were an interesting change of pace--not exactly cookie consistency, but still delicious. A great way to use up leftover bananas. I used two bananas, 1/2 c of chocolate chips and natural pb to make mine. I agree with another reviewer to flatten the cookies before you bake them. I will make them again.
