Too Many Bananas?

Due to my reduced number of shopping trips, I tend to buy too many bananas so here's a quick way to reduce the supply.

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips (I used some mini chips and some regular size)

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Place parchment on 3 cookie sheets (or spray with non-stick cooking spray).

In mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add egg, banana, and vanilla and combine.  In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt and soda.  Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture and combine.  Stir in chocolate chips. 

Drop tablespoons of dough onto prepared pans about 2 inches apart.  Bake in preheated oven 13-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.  Remove to wire cooling racks.
