Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are a nice change from the chocolate chip cookies you’re used to making. The sweet bananas in the recipe enable you to use less sugar, and the peanut butter and chopped peanuts add a bit of protein usually missing from cookies.
Notes
If you’re not following a gluten free diet you can substitute the gluten free Bisquick with 1 ½ flour, ¾ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda and ½ tsp salt.
