I've modified it a bit for my health concerns -- I can't handle regular sugar, but unprocessed evaporated cane juice granules work wonderfully in this recipe, in place of the brown sugar. I've managed to find chocolate chips that use cane juice as well, and while I don't get the underground network of melted chocolate that way, it's really nice to finally be able to make a sweet treat I can actually eat, all organic and using cane juice. Great feeling, and great tasting cookies.

Yesterday though, I mixed it up a bit. <br /><br />I doubled the recipe. Then since I had them laying around I mashed up 3 very ripe bananas and threw them in the mixer. This made the batter kind of gooey and weird, so I added about 1/2-1c additional flour and about 1/2 tsp additional baking soda. Give or take.<br /><br />Let it site for 36 hours...<br /><br />The results... FREAKING PHENOMENAL (I think). Although they could have slightly more banana flavor, I'm thrilled with the soft, airy, moistness of the cookie. And I'm not complaining- there is definitely a delicious banana taste to them!<br /><br />My one fatal mistake- I used 16oz of Nestle morsels instead of chopping up fine semi-sweet chocolate as I have before. I think this really compromised the overall quality and taste of the cookie. I actually think reducing the amount of chocolate in this recipe by about half when using banana wouldn't be such a bad thing. <br /><br />I am OVER THE MOON to now have what I believe is the most DELICIOUS banana chocolate chip cookie recipe out there. Many, many thanks.<br /><br />Even though I don't think it's really necessary, I will play around with adding additional banana in the future.Zoe Winbourn Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203643439876132828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629569640654321377.post-21080106524129814242009-02-17T09:28:00.000-05:002009-02-17T09:28:00.000-05:00"underground network of chocolate"...now, that is ..."underground network of chocolate"...now, that is something every cookie...heck, person! needs! love the blog...thanks for the tips!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292932382224957564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629569640654321377.post-77382095191344746792009-02-04T22:02:00.000-05:002009-02-04T22:02:00.000-05:00these were delicious!thanks!these were delicious!<BR/>thanks!Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077095974490105071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629569640654321377.post-50284021035043524702009-02-03T17:23:00.000-05:002009-02-03T17:23:00.000-05:00i made these the other day, minus the nuts, and th...i made these the other day, minus the nuts, and they were amazing! i loved them and so did my hubs! you are a gem and i can't wait to try more of your recipes. thank you!!In With the Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291171798172522112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629569640654321377.post-82108187706425099512009-02-01T18:52:00.000-05:002009-02-01T18:52:00.000-05:00Just wanted to let you know that I made your recip...Just wanted to let you know that I made your recipe today and my five-year-old son declared them, "Better than ultimately good!"

I still haven't found a recipe I really liked, though--I'll be sure to try this one.
