peanut butter, banana & chocolate chip cookies

Jazz in the Park has started again! It is one of my favorite Denver events.  Gathering with friends, listening to live music and having a picnic on a Sunday evening.  I brought the perfect sweet treat to our picnic this past Sunday and I found it on one of Jenny's favorite blogs, Siriously Delicious.  They were an absolute hit and PB, banana & chocolate is a combination that most couldn't resist.  Beware, they are hard to stop eating.

Ingredients:
1 stick of butter, room temperature
2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup creaming peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
chocolate chips
1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon, for dusting

In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, soad, cinnamon and salt. Put aside. With you standing mixer and paddle attachment, mix bananas, butter peanut butter, brown and granulated sugars, eggs and vanilla until well combined. Fold in dry ingredients until fully combined. Add chocolate chips. Chill in the refridgerator for 30 minutes.

While waiting, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with slip mats. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. After dough is done chilling, using a big spoon place dough onto mats. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool on a drying rack.
