These are absolutely delicious! My husband consumed the entire batch in two days, I would completely recommend making this.

Quick and easy to make...ingredients were already in my pantry and fridge. Not too sweet, and very tasty. I used mini chocolate chips, so I only used 2/3 cup. The cookie has a cake-like consistency, which I love.

These cookies were more like chocolate chip banana pancakes.

What a great & simple way to use up over ripe bananas. I added 1/8 tsp each of cinnamon & nutmeg and everyone loved them.

I am always looking for cake-like cookies. There is nothing like them. And these cookies are soft and delicious! I really loved them. I had quite a few people stop by today and I gave them each a cookie and they all asked for another one. My little niece even asked for one for the road! You really do need to double it though, because I doubled and it only made 3 dozen. I wouldn't have wanted them any smaller either. Great cookie!

My kids loved this cookie. The only thing is that they were a bit soft. Other than that it was great.

I made my second batch of these today, and this time I used coconut oil in place of butter, half the sugar, and more bananas and I think they are even better =] Thanks so much for this amazing recipe!

I am going to have to say, these are the most amazing cookies I have ever made/had. I am saving this recipe for the rest of my life! I used more bananas than called for, and probably more chocolate(what girl wouldn't). They turned out so amazing and soft. The banana wasn't too much which was shocking since I added more than called for. Either way I am making more of these tomorrow, and this will be the only reason I buy bananas! YUMMM

These soft cookies have been a big hit with my husband and others who have tried them - I'm sure I will be making them often, especially when I end up with some overripe bananas!

I triple this recipe. Everyone in my family loves them, and my daughter's school friends and my husband's coworkers. To make it a little bit healthier, I use half spelt flour (whole grain) and half all purpose. I also mash the bananas with the baking soda and let them froth while I mix the other wet ingredients, which makes the cookies a little fluffier (Alton Brown explains the science of it). Love them, make them often!

I made this recipe last night, OMG it was so good. It taste life a cookie muffin. I will be making this recipe all the time to curve my sweet tooth for chocolate chip cookies.

I missed the part that said they would be cake-like haha. oops. not bad though. I replaced the sugar with honey, and the butter with applesauce to make a bit healthier. also, used peanut butter chips, instead of regular. I think I'll keep the recipe saved, but instead of making like cookies, I'll pour the batter in the 15x10 pan and make bars to cut out? we'll see how that one goes!

These should be called,what they really are, which is pancakes! They come out the same, which is fine but not what I was expecting. I will make these again but play with the recipe some.

Very tasty - I like that the cookies are nice & fluffy, and have just the right amount of banana flavor.For my cookies, I followed the recipe - except I used a whole banana rather than measuring the amount.Will save this recipe to make again.

Delicious recipe! I made it with almond flour instead of all purpose flour, so it needed an additional cup. Talk about the best chocolate/banana/nut flavor EVER! YUM!!!

This recipe was okay; I didn't have much against it; it was just a little boring. The only problem was that my family ate some of them, then lost interest. I really like bananas, but I will probably stick with banana bread. Banana cookies are interesting- so don't just take my judgement into account, you may like them.

Very good. They're definitely a soft cookie often described to me as banana muffin tops. Last time I made them I used butterscotch chips in lieu of chocolate and they were just as good.

I loved how fluffly these cookies were. And it was the perfect hint of banada.

My family loves these cookies! The first time I made them I put in 1 cup of chocolate chips which is what the recipe calls for. My daughter found that too much so the second time I made them I put in 3/4 cup. Next time I'll try 1/2 cup as 3/4 cup is still too much unless you'd rather taste the chocolate chips instead of the cookie. The recipe calls for 1 cup (6 oz) which is incorrect because 1 cup is actually 8 oz.

Didn't like these. Maybe it was a texture thing. They didn't taste like cookies at all. No one else would eat them either. Had to throw a bunch out

I loved this recipe!! I added 1/4 teaspoon banana essence, and used a small ice cream scooper to scoop the batter in small paper cupcakes (size of a tablespoonful) since this cookie has a fluffy texture, it turned out a great yummy treat :P (Might use tiny chocolate chips next time instead of regular ones.)

I like to use 1/2 brown sugar and white sugar. It made it even better. Also, the browner the bananas, the sweeter banana flavor you will get (just don't use it if it is moldy on the outside).

Another good way to use up over-ripe bananas. I used 1/2 sugar and 1/2 splenda. I also used 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat for the flour to make them more healthy. Next time I think I will try raisins for the chocolate chips. This is a keeper.
