Banana Coconut CC Cookie Balls

I had a couple of really over ripe bananas on my refrigerator. Two more days they would have been in the compost pile. So I decided to throw these cookies together. I really love coconut and I just bought new chocolate chips. I used my tablespoon baller to scoop them and they didn't flatten out...they stayed shape. Which is ok..they still are very good!  Good thing about this recipe, you only need one bowl!
