Banana Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

This is one unexpected cookie and banana and peanut butter chips are a true winning combination…. totally delicious.   

These cookies have a nice light banana flavor that goes so great with the peanut butter chips.They aren’t overly peanut butter tasting which allows you to enjoy the soft yummy flavor of the banana.

These are thick cookies with a crisp edge and have a great texture while not being too cake-like or moist like banana bread… not that there is anything wrong with banana bread, and if you do like peanut butter and banana check out this

The crisp turbinado sugar on the tops adds a great light crunch to the cookies.

I just LOVE cookies, and really who doesn’t?!?

Crazy people I guess.

I never get tired of having the cookie jar full… well half empty is more of a common scene as the first try usually get eaten as soon as they aren’t too hot to touch.

I’m not going to lie, some days breakfast consists of eating cookies and I don’t feel the bit bad about it. Although I don’t recommend doing it every day unless you like expanding pants!

But some days it’s A-OK I think.
