Peanut Butter Chocolate and Banana Chip Cookies

By srumbel

When you bite into these cookies, all you taste is a soft, thick cookie loaded with peanut butter and chocolate. The banana chips add a bit a texture to these soft cookies, and their light sweetness balances out the richness of the peanut butter and chocolate. You won’t even miss the extra sugar and white all-purpose flour!
