Bananarama Cookies

I came home from work today to once again find the bananas turning brown.  I wanted to try a new recipe so I found this recipe for Bananarama Cookies on Allrecipes and thought I would give them a try.  These cookies called for peanut butter, bananas and chocolate chips, all some of my favorite ingredients!  These ended up being so yummy!  Perfect with a cold glass of milk!
