I was tired of the same ole cookie recipes that I have been making over and over lately. Not that I don’t enjoy every bite of the ones I allow myself to have. I usually have only one or two and then the rest are distributed among friends and family so I don’t end up as big as a bus. But I didn’t do so well this time. I must have eaten 4 or 5, ok 8 or 9 of these soft delicious cookies within minutes of them leaving the oven. I decided to take my grandma Cordie’s Soft Banana Cookies recipe and adding chocolate chips. I mean come on, what is better than chocolate in anything. Well, maybe bacon. Hmmm…maybe next time I’ll add bacon as well.
They are so soft. Almost like a Madeleine. And the little bits of chocolate were the perfect contrast to the banana flavor.
So here is my newest cookie recipe. Just a bit of an update really to grandma’s. I hope y’all enjoy. Now I gotta get back in the kitchen. I hear those beauties yelling my name.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shortening or butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 cups flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup bananas, mashed
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, and set aside. Cream shortening/butter with sugars. Add eggs, bananas and vanilla.
- Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet about a cup at a time. Once combined add chocolate chips.
- Drop on cookie sheet with a small scoop or tablespoon size drops.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 14-15 minutes. Makes 4-4 1/2 dozen.
