Chunky Monkey Cookies-Bananas, Oatmeal and Chocolate

These cookies have that airy feel of banana bread, but all the goodness and bite size of a delectable cookie.

They’re soft and fluffy, but don’t break apart like bread. They’re the perfect little slice of banana bread without being bread.

These cookies take all the favorites of bananas, chocolate chips, and oatmeal.

To achieve that airy goodness, I split the flour. Regular all purpose flour along with bread flour. It gives it that extra oomph you’re looking for in a cookie.
