Here's a cookie whose recipe I kept changing and changing till I got it the way I liked it:


Banana Bread Chocolate Cookies

1 stick butter
1 c. light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 tsp salt
3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
9 oz. E Guittard Chocolate Discs*, broken into halves (use a rolling pin:chef: )
4 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips

*These come from Williams~Sonoma. They have a few different types, but I prefer the one with the highest cocoa content (less sweetness)

I mixed these ingreds in my KA mixer in this order. Then, using 2 spoons, drop by teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet (I used one of those air-flow non-stick sheets, but if you're using regular cookie sheets, you may want to either grease them or use parchment paper, etc)

Bake @ 375 for 8-10 minutes.

The consistency is a lot like banana bread, and they have a similar appearance to persimmon cookies. (Don't expect them to get flat or golden)
 
What are the chocolate discs for exactly?

I've never heard of those discs either.
 
Wow... these sound great.... I assume the rec. can be halved for us smaller families!!
