Recipe by 5-A-Day Kids Cookbook

Ingredients:
1 large ripe banana, sliced
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 Tbsp margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute whole wheat flour0
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Spray sheets with non-stick cooking spray.

In mixing bowl, combine banana, peanut butter and margarine. Mix until creamy with hand held mixer. Add sugars and egg; continue mixing until light and fluffy. Add flour, baking soda and salt to batter. Use a spoon to stir until all the flour has been incorporated into the batter.

Drop teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet. Sprinkle cookies with sugar, then press fork twice on top each cookie to form a crisscross pattern.

Bake on middle rack of oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet and place on cooling rack.

*I love, love, love these cookies.  They hit the spot every time.  They come out nice and soft. Be careful, it is hard to not eat the whole batch at once.
