Recipe Notes

-you can sub in 1/2 cup applesauce for the large banana.

–no need to chill the dough.

-use an ice cream scoop for uniformly-shaped cookies.

-once you scoop the batter onto the baking pan, add extra chocolate chips and macadamia nuts on top of each cookie before baking for more pizazz!

-better to slightly underbake than to overbake these cookies!  All ovens are different, but generally, I take them out of the oven at about the 7 minute mark.  They may look slightly under-baked, but letting them rest for about 5 minutes will finish off the baking process.  This is CRUCIAL!!  This is the difference between a moist cookie vs a dry cookie!!

–Store in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge.  They somehow taste even better after a couple of hours in the fridge.  Best if eaten within 3-4 days.  Also try microwaving!
