Tips
- The banana chip pieces can be optional, but they add a nice crunch to the cookie, similar to having nuts in banana bread without actually having to use nuts, which is perfect if you're allergic to nuts.
- Always underbake these cookies because underbaked cookies are superior.
- Make your glaze a bit thicker than mine, but this one worked just fine.
