Peanut Butter, Banana and Honey Cookies

All the pictures of this cookies really sucked. Sorry.
On the Lew scale of cookie ratings this one got a 2 out of 10. 10 being the best. It has more of a cake like texture. Lew really likes more of a crisp cookie. I thought it wasn't too bad. I'd give it a 6. I got this recipe from a website twopeasandtheirpod.com It's a pretty good cooking website. Here you go...
