Banana Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 sticks butter (1/2 lb.), softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
1/2 cup mashed banana (1 medium)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups flour, packed
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Beat the softened butter & confectioners sugar together until light and creamy; add lemon extract.

Break banana into chunks and mix in; sprinkle in baking powder and salt - mix until batter is smooth.

Add flour in increments, maxing after each addition.

Stir in chocolate chips by hand.

Line cookie sheets with fool and spray with Pam.

Use a teaspoon to drop dough 2" apart on the cookie sheets; flatten slightly. (For larger cookies, use a 2 Tbs. size scoop.)

Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until golden on top. Remove from oven, and cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes. Peel foil off and transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely.

Makes about 3 dozen large cookies or 5 dozen smaller cookies.

NOTE: Try these with peanut butter chips!
