Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies for High Altitude areas... like Utah ;)

My husband LOVES cookies! He even got me that fancy Cookies Dough Disher Spoon and a Mixer to make my life easier. Baking in Utah is a little bit different due to high altitude. You need to know a few tricks, like to add more eggs or bake on a higher temperature for a longer time. This recipe already includes all those tricks. Just follow it. And you will get tender and delicious banana chocolate chip cookies!

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
