How Could I Forgot?

My phone ran out of photo storage, so I was going through and deleting the baking videos off my phone and realized that I completely forgot to share the chocolate banana pecan cookies I made 2 weekends ago...

How could I forget about these cookies? I have no idea. Before the snickerdoodle cookies, I thought these were the best cookies I had ever made...

They were so incredibly delicious and gooey. They had a deep, rich flavor. They were not terribly hard to make and came from my cookbook. It was the first time I added banana to a cookie. I think that added to it's soft gooey texture. Now that I think about it, the preparation was a mix between a crinkle cookie and the snickerdoodle cookie. That is because I had to roll them out in the chopped pecans and then in powder sugar. The process was similar to the snickerdoodle because of the coating process and similar to the crinkle cookie because of the powdered sugar.

They were not the prettiest things, but so good! The batter did not make too many, only 1-2 dozen so I would need to account for that if I had to bring them somewhere. Oh, and one note is that these are best if you consume day of. Maybe that is why the batch was so small.

I recommend these for a crowd with a less sweet pallet. They were definitely sweet so don't be fooled, but the chocolate was so dark that I think it can appeal to that crowd.
