Banana Cookies

These are some of my Dad's favorites. I like to make them with those last few bananas that got to ripe. Plus I don't feel as bad giving my kids cookies when they are made with bananas instead of chocolate. It just sounds healthier :)

Banana Cookies

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup shortening
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (2 large) ripe bananas
2 cups chocolate chips

Measure flour and sift with dry ingredients. Cream sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Add flour mixture alternately with mashed banana, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips and vanilla. Drop by spoon onto greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
