Banana Split Cookies!

I suck at posting :/

I guess working in a bakery killed my desire to bake. Anyway, I've cut down to once a week at Everyday Gourmet, so now I have time to cook again! Yesterday, I had an outrageous desire for something filled with bananas! I bought a bunch of bananas, and so did my roomate, so altogether we have about 4,567. Someone needed to do something about this, so I took it upon myself to make banana cookies.

Though these technically only contain about 3/4 of banana split ingredients, I thought the chocolate ganache on top made them look like a banana split, so that's what they're called! I made up this recipe myself, and I'm really happy about how it turned out.

Banana Split Cookies

-1 large banana
-1 cup Earth Balance or other vegan margarine
-3/4 cup brown sugar
-3/4 cup granulated sugar
-2 tsp vanilla

-2.5 cups unbleached flour/ spelt flour
-1 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp salt

Ganache

-Vegan chocolate chips
-Soymilk

1.) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Smash the banana with a fork or electric mixer in a large bowl until it is very mushy and has a paste-like consistency. Add butter, vanilla, and both types of sugar to the bowl and beat until sugar has been creamed into the butter.

2.) Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, and little by little add it to the wet mixture until it forms a dough.

3.) Scoop the dough onto ungreased baking sheets with an ice cream scoop or large spoon, and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cookie edges are slightly browned. Flatten if necessary.

4.) Combine soymilk and chocolate chips and warm in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until it resembles a thick, chocolatey mixture. Drizzle over top of the cookies and let cool.
