White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Banana Cookies

After my Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies and my Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars became widely popular, I decided to keep going.  These White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Banana Cookies are just sweet enough.  They are sweetened with bananas and white chocolate chips.  Did you know that one cup of sugar has 700 calories in it?  You’re saving a lot of calories by not adding that sugar to these cookies.  Yes, these cookies have some added sugar, but just enough.  My kids devoured these cookies and begged for more.
