Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

After finding myself with some overripe bananas, I decided to try and make something other than the usual banana bread or muffins.  After a quick search, I decided to make Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies - a recipe I found on Allrecipes.com.

They turned out soft, chewy, and delicious!  I'll definitely be making these again the next time I find myself with some overripe bananas.
