Please use over ripe bananas , well mashed in this recipe as that is where you find the great flavor of banana. This recipe is from Land O'Lakes- butter box. My kids just loved these when they were small- and still like them now-- I have so many cookie recipes that every once in awhile I have to go back and see what one I haven't made in awhile. I think you will enjoy this cookie!
