BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

We had 10 uneaten ripe bananas last week.  Sometimes I buy bananas and they disappear in one day…other times they sit…uneaten…for days…and I am forced to make some delicious banana cookies like these Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

These are one of my absolute favorite cookie recipes.  I like to make a big batch and then freeze most of them.  Then just grab a cookie or two out of the freezer and either pop them in the microwave when I need a snack for myself or I can put one in the kids school lunch box.

The dough can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days if you want to save some dough and bake the cookies later.  Dough can also be frozen and used for later.  Just be sure to thaw it in the fridge before using.

  1. On the printed recipe you said “cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week” – shouldn’t that be in the refrigerator for up to 1 week?

  2. Is it possible to take the rolled oats and grind them to a flour state? I want to make these for my son with autism and he has issues with rolled oats. Would I have to do anything different if I grounded the rolled oats?
