nutrition data
Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Would have liked more banana flavor. Maybe use banana extract instead of vanilla. The cake texture was very nice though, not dry.
