I was looking for an easy recipe to use up some over-ripe bananas~~~and these were so good! A wonderful little moist cake-like cookie. I had to reduce baking time to about ten minutes though...the reccomended fifteen would have left me with little more than charred banana flavored lumps. :D Thanks!! -
Like banana bread in a cookie! Just the right amount of spice too. I got only 24 cookies, cause I like them larger and I got better performance only cooking for 12 minutes in my oven, but yum! -
We LOVE these cookies. Very tender and moist. They do resemble the flavor and texture of banana bread. Kids and husband enjoyed them and they didn't last very long. I liked the spiced banana flavor. Thanks for something different and very easy to make. -
Delicious, soft and cakey. Very quick and easy to make. I made them quite small and ended up with 46 cookies. -
These were fast,easy and delicious.They taste even better then second day...if they last that long!

These cookies were pretty good. They definitely satisfied the sweetness I was in the mood for, but I think they could have been made a little better with chocolate chips instead of nuts. However, the sweetness and banana balanced perfectly. Thanks for posting this recipe!

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
