Soft, chewy, peanut buttery, chocolaty. . .all in a thick, warm cookie. . .amazing. . . Yep, it’s hard to eat just one of these! The banana chips add a touch of texture to these wonderfully soft cookies and the hint of banana balances out the richness of the chocolate and peanut butter.
Did I mention that they go well with chocolate milk?? Because they do! 🙂
One more look at these yummy cookies! Oh, and since they have complex carbs, protein, and fruit, I think that they might make a good breakfast cookie! 😉
