Notes
Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
Flatten the cookies slightly since they do not spread much.
Rolled oats give the best chewy texture.
Add a small handful of oats if the dough feels too wet.
Bake just until the edges are set for soft cookies.
Let the cookies cool slightly so they firm up before serving.
