white chocolate chip banana cookies

I don't know who if anyone will really see this, but just on the offchance that someone does, I thought I'd share a recipe I'd altered for banana cookies. We had bananas that had gotten past their prime and I didn't feel like making banana bread, so I found a recipe for banana cookies. I decided not to use their recomendation for cream cheese frosting and instead used a whole bag of white chocolate chips. The resulting cookies were good enough to have the whole house moaning with deliciousness.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
3 banana's
3 cups flour ( i used 1 1/2 cups All Purpose and 1 1/2 cups whole wheat)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons cinnamon
1 bag white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degree's. In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugars and banana's. In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Combined flour mixture to banana mixture. Mix in chocolate chips. Spoon teaspoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets and bake for 10 minutes. (Mine were big so I put them in for 13 minutes) Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
