I made these cookies on Friday when I realized I had one (I halved this recipe just FYI!) overripe banana. I'm constantly pinning "healthy" dessert recipes since I have such a sweet tooth and these were pretty yum! While yes they aren't an iced sugar cookie, they still taste somewhat like a treat because of the chocolate chips. They are definitely worth it to have around as a healthy daily treat!

Spoon about 2 tbsp. of the cookie mixture onto the baking sheet, leaving an inch or two between each. Bake for 20-30 minutes and allow to cool slightly.
Enjoy!
P.S. - I'm making this and this for dinners this week, and oh this old standby for my lunches.
