Banana Chocolate Chunkies

Hellooo... I'm back after about 100 years of not blogging. A lot has happened since then, I have moved to a big city, among other things ;)).
Which means that as soon as I get an awesome fancy camera, I will be out taking photos of street styles, the people are soooooooooooooooo well-dressed here! I can't believe it..
Anyway, last night I watched the movie "Julie&Julia" about this woman who writes a blog about cooking and I thought I could do that too, once in a while, since this is a lifestyle blog.
So today I made Cynthia Barcomi's Banana Chocolate Chunkies!



flour and salt, not very exciting :D



oatflakes and walnuts only waiting for...





...chocolate!



my left hand after dealing with the chocolate, oh great -.-"



aaaand mixing it together!

Then I was the main dough part consisting of butter, sugar, syrup, vanilla sugar, an egg and bananaaas :)) well actually you're supposed to use vanilla extract but my store didn't have any, so I just used some more syrup and some vanilla flavored sugar, I don't think it made much of a difference.
In addition to that I should not just have put all of the ingrediences in the bowl like that but beat the butter a bit before adding the sugar and the egg, bla bla. All I can say is that it worked out anyway, thank God... I really need to read the recipe more closely next time :D









Banana time!!!



Stripping 'em...





haha okay, my fork sucks, and I don't think it was bent like that before I started mashing up the bananas... It said I should use one big banana but the ones I got weren't all that huge so I just took 1 1/2 :)





so that's where the last half of the banana went... ;) there are better pictures of me though :D









Then I added the flour





The oatflakes/walnut/chocolate-mixture was next!



mix it mix it mix it aaaaand put those babies on a baking tray woot!









See ya in 15 minutes, my lovely lovely cookies! :)



tick tock tick tock...



Spying on the cookies... o__O



Fresh from the oven, hot and chewy... *-*



Let it cool off, let it cool o-hoff... anyone know that Peter, Bjorn and John song?

And then... I tried one...





OMG SO GOOD!!!!! *__________________________________________________*

Well, I hope I can make some more of these, preferably with a camera that has flash :D ahem...
Aaaand I hope you liked it, you should try making them! It's really easy, the recipe is from Cynthia Barcomi's 2nd book. She's a baking goddess!!!
