Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking soda
1 cup (6 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips
1. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, banana and vanilla.Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.2. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.These freeze well. I increased the baking time to 15 minutes from the freezer.The recipe says this makes 3 dozen.I used a regular cookie scoop (which makes the cookies a bit larger) and made 25 cookies. I then made this again using a smaller cookie scoop, and it made about 32 which I will freeze for another dessert I have planned this week.
