This recipe is based on the chocolate chip cookies my sister and I have made since we were kids. It's a great way to use up leftover chocolate. I made a double batch, so that's how I'll write it.
Ingredients
1 cup butter
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup of chocolate (chocolate bars chopped up, M&M's, Smarties, etc)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
Cream butter until it's nearly white. Add sugars, beat it more. Add banana, beat it more. Add eggs, beat it more.
Add vanilla.
Add in dry ingredients. Mix to combine.
Drop by teaspoonful on greased baking sheet (or use parchment). Bake for 12 minutes.
Notes
You can use butter, shortening, margarine, whatever you prefer. I wouldn't swap out more than half of it when adding in banana or apple.
This dough freezes well. Fill a container with cookie dough balls, take out as many as you want to bake at one time. If baking from frozen, you may need to add 2 minutes to the baking time.
