BANANA DROP COOKIES

This is one of my mom's recipes.  A favorite of mine as a child.  I still love these cookies.  So much so, that I won't make them unless I'm prepared to eat the entire basketful!

Preheat oven to 375ºF

2 ripe, medium bananas, mashed
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped

Cream butter and sugars.  Beat in bananas, eggs, and vanilla.  In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.  Gradually beat flour mixture into banana mixture.  Fold in chips and nuts.  Drop dough by the tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheet.

Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.  Cool completely on wire racks.  Store in an airtight container with wax paper or parchment between the layers of cookies (or cookies will stick to each other).
