Have extra bananas? Make some cookies! If you're expecting a strong cocoa flavor this cookie isn't the one for you. These cookies have a lovely nutty taste from the browned butter, a light cocoa flavor and a chewy banana center. Think banana bread in cookie form.

Notes

Be sure your banana is overripe. I like to use bananas I've had in the freezer for a month or so to make it easier to mash. Since this cookie doesn't have any eggs you can taste the dough and decide if you want to add in additional cocoa powder. If you are really searching for chocolate add chocolate chips for an additional layer of flavor.
