I loved these cookies! I actually sub'd out the AP flour with 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup cake flour. They were light, fluffy and delicious! I did manage to get 38 cookies out of the batter but they were definitely on the small side. I don't like mine too brown so I actually took them out a little before 9 minutes. Great recipe!

I was a little leary of making this recipe after seeing some of the reviews however, there were mostly positive reviews so I gave it a try. I love Chocolate and banana combined and sure enough this was a GREAT cookie! It is a cross between banana bread, cookies and cake. They are wonderful! Wish I would have doubled the batch it only made 7 huge cookies for me, but I make my cookies very big. Thank you for the GREAT recipe I can't wait to share it with my coworkers.

These are very yummy - and do taste a lot like a banana muffin top. I used 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. I also used a medium sized scoop and only got 16 cookies - perfect at 11 minutes bake time. The calorie count is closer to 120 the way I made them - will try a smaller scoop next time to get closer to the 3 dozen yield. I sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top of some - yum!

This is a very delicious cookie; however, if you are making to bring to a potluck or other event, you should be aware that they do not stack well at all. They tend to kind of stick together because of the moistness from the banana and then the appearance becomes a problem! But definitely a great taste!

My son loves these cookies he calls them muffin cookies. He asks for them often.

One of my sons calls these muffin top cookies because they're just like them. Moist, tender, and a very good way to use up those brown bananas.

So delicious! Fit nicely into my lower carb diet for a treat!

I thought these were excellent! My boyfriends mom said they reminded her of muffin tops. They were brown on the bottom from the pan but that doesn't bother me. I will be making these again!

The cookies came out overly soft but they tasted great. I didn't get anywhere near 3 dozen cookies but I tend to make my cookies bigger.

I'm glad this recipe doesn't make very many cookies because I did not like them. The batter is too thin and doesn't spread out to a very substantial cookie. The taste is just ok. If you don't like banana and chocolate flavors together, don't make these.

I substituted low cal margarine for the butter because who bakes with butter anymore knowing how unhealthy and fattening it is? Not me.

These cookies are excellent and my daughter, who is a picky eater, even enjoyed them. I also replaced the butter with unsweetened applesauce and found them delicous that way too!

These were fantastic! I did not use overripe bananas, so we only tasted a hint of banana which was great since my niece does not like bananas. The whole batch I made yesterday is gone. Everyone loved them. I was not able to get 36 cookies, but other than that, I am absolutely making them again.

This is a really good recipe. I rated it a 4.5 star as is. Now I left out 3 ingrediants. The salt, baking soda and baking powder. I found out one day when I forgot to put those ingrediants into a different cookie recipe,that they aren't necessary. So why do we add it? To give it flavour? It tastes just great without it. For body? They held body just fine. I well be leaving those ingrediants out when ever possible.

Very tasty cookies! The only thing I would change is baking them on parchment paper instead of spraying the baking sheet with cooking spray. The spray made the bottom of my cookies very dark.

Reviewed on Jan. 03, 2010 by kenamandam

i thought these were very tasty. didn't have any trouble with spreading, the amount of banana flavor was just right. substituted 1/4 of the flour with whole wheat flour and used mini chocolate chips. as another reviewer mentioned, if you want 36 cookies as the recipe states, double the batch.

These cookies are little bits of heaven! I have already had to double the batch when I make them, and have extra on hand in the freezer as they disapear FAST!

Reviewed on Nov. 23, 2009 by clovely

These cookies were absolutely amazing. I think they turned out to be more like muffies. Half muffin, half cookie. So moist and the banana flavor is a nice twist to the chocolate chip cookie. I will definitely make these again and again.

Delicious cookies, they just melt in your mouth. However, I only made about 24 small cookies with this recipe so if you wanted to make 36 average to big cookies, I would double the recipe.

I'm so glad to have found this recipe! Got it years ago from a college roommate who was a camp cook in the summertime. I remember minimizing the recipe from something like 50 dozen cookies to 2 dozen cookies! I've never forgotten these cookies and am glad to have the recipe once again! THANK YOU!

cookies taste good, however they came out very "raggy", not firm. Could it be because I used frozen bananas that had been thawed.

Re: Banana Chocolate chip Cookies

I added "Toffee Bits" and Chcolate Chunks. What I found out after the first batch was to NOT spray the cookie sheet. The cookies will not spread. Plus put dough in the fridge or freezer this firms up the batter.

Reviewed on Dec. 08, 2008 by knatal

I substituted peanut butter for about half of the butter and used half white-wheat flour and half self-rising flour. Turned out great and very soft and cakey. Also used mini chips to more evenly distribute the chocolate througout the cookie.
