Salted Caramel Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

For years now we have made S'mores on camping trips and in the back yard.  We've made many, many variations of the campfire confection.

I've never been a big fan of the candy bar method, I don't really like that much chocolate and it never seems to be ooey gooey enough.

We've subbed in chocolate frosting, peanut butter, and Nutella.

We've skipped the chocolate all together and opted to use cookies instead of graham crackers.

On that note, here's the latest deliciousness.

I was inspired by a recipe I found at https://tornadoughalli.com/salted-caramel-banana-chocolate-chip-cookies/

The original recipe didn't call for any egg which I thought was odd but I moved forward with it.  The finished cookies were delicious, they bake up very thin and chewy.  I'm going to try them again soon and include an egg to see if they end up a little cakier.

3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 Bananas, mashed
2 tsp Vanilla Extract

1/2 tsp salt
3/4 Cup Chocolate Chips
3/4 Cup Sea Salted Caramel Baking Chips
Coarse Sea Salt

2. Beat butter and sugars until smooth.
3. Add banana and vanilla and continue to beat until combined.
4. In another bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch and salt.
5. Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
6. Fold in baking chips.
7. On a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet, use a cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon to add your cookie dough, spacing two inches apart.
8. Sprinkle coarse sea salt on top of each cookie if desired.
9. Bake 10 minutes until golden brown.
10. Remove from oven and let cool on pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.



I think I also want to try combining peanut butter baking chips instead of the caramel because I love banana and peanut butter together.
