Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Let me share a little something -- I love the internet.
I love that when I have a few overly ripe bananas sitting on my counter and a hankering for something sweet in cookie form, I can go to my trusty (and probably way out of date) computer, do a Google search, and *boom* find a plethora of delicious recipes.
Most of which are contained within fascinating blogs.

Combining two of my most favorite things -- bananas and chocolate.
These are soft, chewy, and absolutely delightful!
I made these last weekend, and they only lasted a few days.
A request has also been placed for these most delicious of treats to be made again . . . and soon.
Make them.
You won't be disappointed.
