Peanut Butter-Banana-Chocolate Chunk Cookies

October 6, 2011 by Jaida Leave a Comment

 
Mr. T has become quite spoiled the last couple of weeks, and a bit demanding of my cookies it seems. After dinner earlier this week, he asked me what was for dessert. He doesn’t want store-bought cookies, he wants “Jaida cookies”. Now, how could I turn down a request like that?? T told me that I’m too nice, and Mr. T said that when I move into my apartment in a couple of weeks, he’s going to show up at 9:45 every night looking for cookies. I’m glad that I could do something during my time here to help them out and make the Mr’s tummy happy, too. We had talked casually about me making some peanut butter-banana cookies some days before this request, so I went in search of a quick recipe I could whip up. I found one that looked simple, and as I saw a bag of chocolate chunks in the pantry, I decided to throw some of those into the mix as well. Mr. T was pleased with the results, and that I had given in to his request at nearly 9 pm.

Adapted from Cooks.com
 
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 c. peanut butter
  • 2 c. brown sugar
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1 c. butter, softened
  • 2 small bananas
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 1/2 c. flour
  • 2 cups chocolate chunks
Preparation
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheet(s) with foil or parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream both sugars and butter. Add peanut butter, and mix until combined.
  3. Break up bananas and mix in until there are no lumps.
  4. Mix in salt, baking powder, then add flour.
  5. Drop by the tablespoonful onto cookie sheets and bake for 12 minutes, or until slightly set and beginning to brown on the edges.
  6. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before removing to cooling racks.

**Use your judgement on cooking time, if cookies seem too soft still, allow them to cook for an additional minute at a time until slightly set. It is important to allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes to allow them to set a bit more, and prevent falling apart when you try to move them to the cooling rack.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
