Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour*
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, very soft
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, preferably unsweetened (can be all-natural)
- 1 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar or Imperial Sugar Dark Brown Sugar (loosely filled, not packed)
- 1/2 cup very ripe smashed/pureed bananas (about 2 bananas)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup dark or milk chocolate chips
*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

- Scoop dough in 2 tablespoon amounts about 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.
- Place in oven and bake for about 10-11 minutes or until center of cookies is no longer wet.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
