Mom’s Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies


I grew up with these cookies. My mom would make them and we would play cookie poker. Instead of poker chips we would use different types of cookies like oreo and chips ahoy as well as mom’s homemade banana chocolate chip cookies. Anytime someone bet one of mom’s cookies you knew they had a winning hand and it was too big a risk, we had to fold.
