Whole Wheat Banana Cookies

I don't like bananas, so I'm not sure why MaMa keeps buying them, cause the just sit there and turn brown and gooey on her.  She's always trying to find new ways to use the over ripe bananas, as we always seem to have an ample supply of them.  She says she's tired of making banana bread every week, so she thought she'd try something different.  She thought you might like the try these cookies too, because, according to her, everyone has over-ripe bananas every now and then.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 c Joseph's Grainery Soft White Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 c sugr
2/3 butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 over-ripe bananas
1 c chocolate chips
1/2 c shredded coconut
