Ingredient Notes
This is just a little rundown of my fav ingredients/brands to use for this specific recipe.
- Bananas – As I mentioned earlier, I try to make the bananas that I use pretty ripe. If they are too new, the consistency isn’t as great. 🙂
- Sugars – This is the other sweetener in this recipe. I feel like the combo of brown sugar and white. It created a deeper + more complex tasting cookie.
- Mix-Ins – This is the yummy part! When recipe testing, I first imagined just a banana cookie. I felt like that was kinda boring so, I reimagined the cookie and created this! I added semi-sweet chocolate chips (which are always the way to go) and some chopped walnuts. Those two made the biggest difference! The cookies gained a yummy nuttiness from the walnuts and delicious
chocolateyness from the choc chips, and became so delicious!
This banana chocolate chip cookie is about to change your life! It’s super yummy AND really easy to make! Ok I can’t wait anymore! Let’s bake some cookiessss!!
