Easy Kids' Recipe for Fluffy Banana Cookies

My kids go crazy for these fluffy banana cookies, and here's why I make them constantly: they're ready in just 25 minutes total, which means fresh cookies before dinner time even starts. The best part is that ripe bananas do double duty as both a natural sweetener and a binder, so you need less added sugar than most cookie recipes. Plus, if you've got overripe bananas sitting on your counter, this is the perfect way to use them up instead of tossing them out. These cookies are so simple to mix together that my seven year old can handle most of the work, and they turn out wonderfully soft and tender every single time.
