PIN IT... TO remember it!

Ingredients

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 ripe banana

4 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

5 cups chocolate chips

2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

2 cups chopped almonds

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Beat white sugar, brown sugar, and banana together in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy; beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until well mixed. Stir in vanilla extract.

Stir banana mixture into flour mixture until batter is well mixed; fold in chocolate chips, coconut, and almonds. Drop batter by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are beginning to crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
