Double Chocolate Banana Cookies

We had some more bananas sitting out that no one ate in time before they turned brown. Normally, I make muffins out of them for our Saturday muffin tradition, but I didn't feel like it. So I made cookies instead. With chocolate. Because chocolate makes everything better. 

 

Double Chocolate Banana Cookies
1 1/4 c. butter, melted
3-4 overripe bananas, mashed (about 2 cups mashed banana) 
2 eggs
2 c. sugar
1 3/4 c. flour
2 c. oats
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. chocolate chips

Combine the melted butter, banana, eggs, and sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Add in flour, oats, cocoa powder, baking soda, and chocolate chips. Stir to combine. Refrigerate batter for an hour. This is actually important or the batter will spread out too much on the pan and you will have one very large cookie rather than individual ones. Drop chilled dough on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes. Remove from pan immediately or use parchment paper - they stick if you leave them on too long.
