Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar (take out 2 1/2 Tbsp. for cinnamon-sugar)
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
2/3 cup shortening
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2-3 bananas)
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Sift dry ingredients into bowl. Cut in shortening. Add bananas, eggs and vanilla and blend together well. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes. Makes 2-3 dozen.

These are soooooo good. Sorry there is no picture, Steve and I ate them too fast! Don't forget to sprinkle the cinnamon sugar before baking, I forgot on one tray and it made ALL the difference!
