Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mmm more cookies! I had two very ripe bananas and it wasn't enough to make my go to banana bread and I was also looking to try out more recipes from the Field Guide to Cookies (I also did not want to do my final papers, but let's not go there), so this was an obvious choice! These turned out quite well. I'd say they taste like chocolate chip banana bread + oats. I like how the oats add to the texture of the cookie. Otherwise they'd be very light and airy. These are great with a glass of milk and fresh from the oven :D I think next time I'll add a little more banana to up the banana flavor, but that's my personal preference lol. I will definitely be making these again :)
