If you like banana bread you will love this cookie. Be sure to use very ripe bananas- because that is where the best flavor comes from. You can all nut or peanut butter to the batter if desired even a few mini chocolate chips. Do your own thing. By placing the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before making the cookie they will be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Land O'Lakes and me
