Notes
1. Use ripe bananas for the best texture and flavor.
2. Creamy peanut butter is the key to yield a gooey and chewy cookie.
3. Before baking press down the cookie dough balls as these cookies do not spread.
So whichever shape they enter the oven is the final shape they'll achieve.
4. So not over bake these cookies. Bake until cookies are just set in the middle.
