Mash the ripe bananas with a fork on a plate and add to a large mixing bowl
Add remaining ingredients (expect the chocolate chips) and stir until well combined.
Take a heaping tablespoon of the cookie dough and place them on the baking sheet about an inch apart. (Don't worry too much about spacing because they don't grow or change shape). Press a few chocolate chips onto each cookie.
Bake cookies for 20-25 minutes.
