Banana Drops


       2  very  ripe bananas
       1   c   butter -- softened
         1  c    sugar
         1/2  c   brown sugar
       2     eggs
       1      tsp.   vanilla
       2      c     flour
       1      tsp.     cinnamon -- optional
       1      tsp.   baking soda
         1/2  tsp.    salt
       1   c   peanut butter chips  (make mine chocolate!)
       1      c     walnuts
       1      c    raisins

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Mash bananas.  Cream together butter and sugars.
    Beat in bananas, eggs and vanilla.  In separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, soda and salt.
    Gradually mix in dry ingredients.  You may need to add up to 1/2 c. flour more if your bananas
    were large.  Fold in chips, nuts and raisins.  Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets.
    Bake 12 min. until golden.  Remove to wire racks to cool.   Makes 48 cookies.

    NOTES : These are a soft cake-like cookie, with a good 'banana loaf' flavor.
