A chocolate cookie studded with chocolate chips? Yes, please! If you are a fan of softer cake-like chocolate cookies, this recipe is for you. Adding mashed bananas doesn’t just add flavour but also adds sweetness and moisture to these soft cake-like cookies, allowing for the reduction of sugar and fat in the recipe. There are mini chocolate chips as well as cocoa powder in these cookies for a double hit of chocolate. The cocoa powder makes the dough deeply chocolatey and the chips add little bits of melty sweet chocolate with every bite.
