Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you like banana bread and chocolate chip cookies then you're going to LOVE EVERYTHING about these GF Inside-Out Banana Bread Cookies. They are so buttery, soft, chewy, scrumptious, and surprisingly easy to make!

These chocolate chip banana bread cookies were inspired by some amazing cookies you could get in Disney World from Gideon's Bakehouse. While their cookies are almost 1/2 lb. each, ours are a lot smaller and better suited for a single serving that doesn't make your stomach hurt 😂. They come in at around 3 oz. each. Best of all, they're gluten-free! So, if you've ever dreamed of having a giant Gideon's cookie, but weren't able to, then we've got you covered. Warm, fresh-baked, super yummy, banana walnut chocolate chip cookies BAKED BY YOU!

Seriously, these big beauties are pretty addicting. You may start off with half of a cookie, but soon you'll realize that the temptation is too strong to leave the other half uneaten. Nobody will be saying "no" to these!

Let the baking begin!

TIPS AND TRICKS:

- Always preheat your oven.

- All refrigerated ingredients should be room temperature unless stated otherwise.

- Make sure your bananas are overripe.

- The egg can be cold because we're chilling the dough for 45 minutes, but make sure the butter and cream cheese are room temperature so they're easy to mix.

- Don't skip the chill! The dough is very sticky at room temperature.

- Keep the rest of the dough balls in the fridge while one tray is baking because they need to go into the oven cold.
