That’s Bananas and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipes as promised…

{world famous} chocolate chip cookies
cream until light and fluffy :
2 eggs
one (cold) stick of butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
in a separate bowl combine & sift:
(to me “sift” means mix with a spoon…) 
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
add dry ingredients in thirds.  add about 2 cups (more or less depending on personal preference).  bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes (or more if you like darker cookies).

eat. delicious. repeat.

banana bread
cream:
3/4 cup margarine (or butter Crisco)
1 1/2 cups sugar

add:
2 eggs
3 bananas (slightly mashed)
1 tsp. vanilla

combine in a separate bowl & sift:
2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
3/4 tsp. salt

add dry ingredients to creamed mixture in batches, alternating dry ingredients with 1/2 cup buttermilk.  pour into two loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

Same as above: eat. delicious. repeat.
*I don’t ever have buttermilk just sitting around so according to this handy and well-used cookbook, you can substitute milk with a splash of white vinegar.  It works and they’re still yummy.  I’ve actually never made the recipe with buttermilk, I always do the substitution.
*Also, we don’t like nuts in our banana bread, but adding nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to this bread is perfectly acceptable!
