Ingredients




2 ripe bananas
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temp
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon, for dusting

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2 In a large bowl, mash 2 ripened bananas. 3 Add butter, peanut butter, both sugars, egg, vanilla and stir. 4 In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. 5 Add dry ingredients to banana mixture and stir until combined (do not stir this to death!) 6 Add mini chocolate chips and briefly stir. 7 Drop by large spoonful onto parchment lined baking sheet. 8 In a small bowl, pour 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and stir.  Sprinkle over unbaked cookies. 9 Bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden brown.  My oven is hot, and only needs 10 minutes.

About


I've come to the conclusion that I buy bananas and purposely neglect them.  Why?  Because then I have no choice but to turn them into bread or muffins.  However, on a particular day in January of Twenty-Ten, I looked at my neglected bananas and wanted cookies.  And peanut butter.  Chocolate.  So I came up with my Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana Cookies.  Don't you just love long titles?  
I don't mean to toot my own horn, but okay fine I will.  THEY ARE EXCELLENT!  Ridiculous.  The texture is a cross between cookie/cake/bread/muffin, if that makes sense.  Salty peanut butter, a hint of cinnamon, the sweet crunch of chocolate, and of course the banana.  My inspiration.  Oh neglected bananas, thank you thank you!

Hmm...how do you explain such a glorious taste in your mouth?...Moist, chewy, soft, and buttery come to mind. The perfect mix of every ingredient. It's just a cookie you say?  I say, its THE cookie. Siriously Delicious!
