Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you love bananas and chocolate chips this recipe is for you! I had a banana that was about to go bad and I also was craving something sweet so what better idea then to make cookies! I heart cookies.
Here is what you'll need:

• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

1. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, banana and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.   
2. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

There are a ton of different settings you can use. I highly recommend giving it a try it's a fun new app to play around with.
