Happy New Month! I know it's already 6th but the month is still new. Dairy free. Gluten free. Sugar free. What more could you want to guiltlessly enjoy a treat. The best part about these cookies is that you only need three ingredients. YES. Only three.  And you get yourself a decadent chocolate snack that you will want to eat everyday. Bananas add the sweetness naturally, the peanut add a smooth crunchy texture while the cocoa powder gives the cookies that chocolaty goodness. I love treats that need very little ingredients and take minimal effort. This recipe has both. These chunky filled with delicious chocolate and "healthy" banana goodness are soon becoming a family favorite. Men, I love cookies and I cannot lie ;)
