my husband's favorite cookie. ever. he said so.

peanut butter banana cookies.

my husband loves peanut butter.
he loves it so much, he thinks when you combine it with almost anything else (including chocolate, which is my FAVORITE thing) , it simply takes up room where you could have added more peanut butter. Ha.
thankfully, the bananas really just work in these cookies to make them super soft, unlike most other peanut butter cookies. recipe definitely can be doubled. I originally got this recipe from foodgeeks.com.

3/4 cup butter, softened (stick & a half)

1 & 1/4 cups peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)

3 medium overripe bananas

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp baking powder

Preheat Oven to 325°F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Peal the bananas, chop up a bit, and drop into the mixture; mix well (some small banana chunks are fine). Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in separate bowl; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Drop by the spoonful onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 13 to 16 minutes - They won't necessarily be brown, and may not look done. As they set, though, they will firm. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for two to three minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
