For an extra nutty flavor, toast the peanut butter in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant before adding it to the dough. Be careful not to burn it! Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture. Don't overbake the cookies! They should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

A happy accident in the kitchen led to these unbelievably delicious, tender, and chewy cookies! When the original dough turned out too crumbly, a stroke of genius involving ripe bananas saved the day. The result? A cookie that will have you at first bite!

StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. (3 minutes)

StepIn a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, shortening, and peanut butter. Mix until well blended and fluffy. (5 minutes)
