I used frozen strawberries but made sure to drain off the liquid.
We're going to need

Then before he can say BUT I WANT TO GET ON MY TABLET,
shove the milk into his hands and tell him POUR IT INTO THE BANANAS, ALONG WITH THE LEMON ZEST AND VANILLA!! NOW!!
He will want to eat a banana piece out of the mixture and that is okay,
free labor needs nourishment in order to continue to be productive.

Add the strawberries.
Again, nourishment for the labor is entirely appropriate at this time.
This is the cookie dough mixture.

QUICK!! DO NOT LET THE NEW, SHORT, UNPAID STAFFPERSON TAKE A SNACK BREAK!
Keep him toiling with a cookie scooper tool.
Be on the lookout though, it's at this point in the assembly line, much of the cookie dough product can disappear if you're not paying attention.
So the pan is ready to go into the oven.
About 18-22 minutes later, the kitchen will fill up with a lovely aroma of
"something done good cookin' in da oven". *
*Aroma description trademarked by me, but feel free to use it.
Go ahead, grab a cookie!
They're soft and billowy and have just the right amount of banana and strawberry sweetness to it.
Finally
the ravished little worker bee boy was allowed to take a break
and rest his weary legs and
eat a cookie.

So as not to alert authorities in the
Grandma Cookie-Making Kitchen Oversight Department
at the local labor office, we let the cute little boy get some fresh air before his next job of toiling away on the chocolate chip cookie line.
