Banana Cookies

Today being a snow day and no ingredients to make anything truly decadent we decided to make Banana cookies. We always have tons of bananas in the freezer since no one around here will eat them the second that the have even a tiny brown spot on them.

This following recipe produces something not as dense as banana bread but more hearty then a banana cake. I am sure that you are supposed to mix the dry ingredients separate from the wet, but I just dumped everything in the bowl and blended it! It turned out great.


Banana Cookies 

1 1/2 cups sifted whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 cup margarine or butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

3-5 mashed bananas ( I used 5)

1 3/4 cups quick cooking oatmeal

*Blend together until all ingredients are combined.
*Make cookies about the size of 2 Tbsp and place 2 inches apart.

*Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 400 degrees, until edges are sides are golden brown and toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
