You’re welcome.

    Until now my hubs would only ever eat raisin oatmeal cookies [1 a day] I made these cookies and baked 4 without chocolate….well he loved them! He asked me if I would make some for him without chocolate chips and alternate with his other favourite cookies. My jaw is still on the floor. These cookies are so good and very addictive…. but oh, so delicious! Thank you Miss Trish!

    These cookies surprised me they were so addictive!
    It’s my first time having this combination in a cookie and it won’t be my last

    I doubled the recipe. I used 6 small to medium very ripe bananas, added 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans.
    They came out delicious 😋..

    Definitely recommend trying…

      You can use granulated sugar for the rest of the brown sugar but the cookies won’t be quite as soft.

    Oh my goodness! I never dreamed these could have been so delicious. I just needed to use up some bananas and my kids hate banana breads, muffins, etc. And my two year old isn’t a fan of sweets at all…but they devoured these in one evening. I’m not even sure if I love regular chocolate chip cookies anymore!

    Delicious!! One question: I followed everything to a T except I switched flour to Bob’s Redmill Gluten Free 1-1 flour. How did you get the cookies to lay so flat as they look in the photo?!? I even tried manually flattening them before baking. I also added dried cranberries and chopped walnuts. They still stayed puffy. I was thinking if I bake them room temp instead of out of fridge, maybe they’d lay flat. Please let me know any tips. Thanks! Delicious!!

    These were amazing! I ran out of light brown sugar and had to use dark brown sugar. I also doubled the recipe and made a ton of cookies! I made them and refrigerated for 20 hours before I had time to bake them. It made the dough firm up nicely…. don’t skip that step!

    These were great! I had four very (very) ripe bananas so I doubled the recipe. I also subbed one of the then four cups of flour with oats. I also used Bob’s 1-1 GF flour. Came out divine. I got 54 cookies from my double batch.

    I made these cookies today and I modified the semi sweet chocolate chips, instead I used 3/4 cup Reese’s peanut butter chips and 3/4 cup Milk Chocolate chips. Oh my gosh! Amazing recipe!! I give it Ten Stars!

    I made these today. Came out great. I added chocolate chips to some and left some without. I also added in some cinnamon and nutmeg for added flavour. If i were to add pecans, how much would i have to use?

    I love these cookies – Thank you for sharing the recipe! I made them four times already, but I’m not sure why they don’t flatten out. They’re still delicious, but it bugs me what I might be doing wrong. I get about 64 cookies in one batch.

      Maybe try flattening a bit before baking? That might help!
