Before tell you the recipe (or show the the finished product) for this yummy treat, I have to introduce you to my good friend Ricky. Ricky is a man who is very near and dear to my heart. I see him every weekend, he is always a gentleman opening my doors, and he never fails to have a huge smile on his face. Ricky is one of and hands down my favorite doormen. Ricky has graciously offered to be the blog's baked goods taste tester. Every baked goods recipe will have Ricky's review.
Ricky's verdict on this week's creation: "absolutely delicious". You can't argue with that!
I'm calling these Coco-Choco Nana Cookies. I started these cookies with an oatmeal cookie base that I got from Runner's Kitchen. I like this base because it's not overly sweet, allowing any and all add ins! The original recipe had coconut (I have been on a huge coconut kick lately) and dark chocolate chips. I decided to add banana chips for some extra crunch and flavor. The recipe made 15 cookies. However if you don't like to "taste test" the dough as you go (I had to be certain it tasted good), I'm sure you could make a few more!
