These Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies are light, fluffy and oh so yummy! Skip the frosting and make them a breakfast cookie or add the frosting for a tasty treat!

 

 

Have you ever purchased bananas and found that you can’t eat them all before they ripened too soon?

Happens all the time in my house.

Generally speaking, my kids go in cycles with foods.

Sound familiar?

My kids will go on a huge banana binge.

 

 

They’ll eat 2 or 3 bananas in a day and I find myself buying them every other day just to keep up.

And then all of a sudden they wake up and decide that day that they no longer like bananas.

It’s moments like these that make me want to pull my hair out.

The funny thing is that the day my kids decide that they are done with eating a certain item, is the day after I’ve stocked up on it.

It’s so frustrating!

Can you relate?

 

 

Because of this, I find myself always trying to come up with new ways to use up ripe bananas.

These Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies are a favorite of ours.

Soft fluffy Banana Cookies, stuffed with chocolate chips and topped with a whipped cream cheese frosting.

My mouth is watering just thinking about these cookies.

Now in our house, when I make something with Bananas, we tend to not only categorize that item as a dessert, but generally as a breakfast item as well.

 

 

Bananas are technically a breakfast item.

And chocolate chips are also considered a breakfast item when added to muffins or pancakes.

However, don’t forget the cream cheese frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting is DEFINITELY a breakfast item when slathered on cinnamon rolls!

Now you can see why we justify these as a breakfast item in our house.

 

 

Though to be honest, I usually don’t put the frosting on when I give these cookies to my kids for breakfast.

The frosting I tend to save for dessert!

I’ve also been known to top these with a sliced banana (if eating right away) or a banana chip (if eating later).

The banana slice is completely optional.

However if taking these cookies to a gathering, it helps others identify what kind of cookie it is at first sight.

 

 

We tend to make banana bread pretty often and like to change it up and make a variety of different kinds of banana bread.

But sometimes I just want a sweet treat that is healthier than your average cookie.

These Soft and Fluffy Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies are sure to hit the spot.

Simple, quick and delicious.

The only dangerous thing is that you can easily eat a few of these without filling stuffed or full.

So if you have bananas sitting around your house, give these Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies a try.
