You’re welcome.

    I made the mistake of thirding this recipe! We ran out on the first night. I can’t have fats, so I omitted the chocolate chips and subbed out the butter for mashed banana, but it was absolutely delicious and you could not tell that they were fat free. My family asked me to make these again 🙂

    So yummy!! I made them last night because we had ripe bananas, and my family was sick of banana bread, but they loved these cookies! The banana is not overpowering and adds a little kick of flavor and a nice soft texture to the cookie. My cookies didn’t spread out at all when i baked them, so they ended up being a little thicker, which was not a bad thing! But I looked it up and realized it was because I’ve been measuring flour incorrectly—I have been directly scooping the flour from the bag with the measuring cup, even though I learned you are supposed to spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with the back of the knife. I also used vegan butter because of a milk allergy, which also may have had an effect. I might also try letting the cookies warm up a little to room temp after being chilled before putting them in the oven. Regardless, it was a delicious cookie that I will make again in the future! Very fun and easy for a new baker. Thank you!

    Thanks for the recipe – these turned out awesome for me!

    I substituted:
    -coconut oil for butter
    -cane sugar for brown sugar
    -coconut sugar for granulated sugar

    Made about 36 cookies. Everyone seemed to love them.
