Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies - chewy instead of cakey, these cookies have just the right amount of banana flavor, and are loaded with chocolate chips. Most banana cookies that I've tried are soft, fluffy, and cake-y. These cookies are more on the chewy side like traditional chocolate chip cookies.
