Jeanette's Banana Cookies

Here is my yummy banana chocolate chip cookie recipe!

This is the recipe for 1 banana- it makes about a dozen and a half cookies. Multiply for however many banana's you have or how many cookies you want!

1 Banana
3 Tablespoons Evaporated Milk
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

1/3 cup Shortening
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg

1 1/8 cups flour (I know weird amount...)
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/8 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt

8 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.

In a small bowl, mash up banana, mix in evaporated milk and vanilla.

In a separate medium/large bowl cream together shortening and sugar, add egg and mix until it is as smooth as you can get it (just get out the big clumps- its impossible to get perfectly smooth). Add in banana mixture and mix well.

Add the dry ingredients. (You can mix them in a separate bowl if you want, I usually just put the flour on top and then add the rest and mix them together on top of the dough before stirring it all in.) The dough is still kind of sticky. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop by spoonfuls on to a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until the bottom edges are a light brown.

Store in an air tight container for the best softness!! YUMMY! Enjoy!
