Coo Coo for Cookies

Cookies3

Sometimes I start craving cookies in a bad way.  Although there is a time and place for them, I don’t always care for the heavy, sugar loaded, buttery cookies all the time.  A couple of days ago, I spied two over-ripe bananas and a bunch of other fun ingredients. I decided to see what would happen if I whipped up a batch. The results turned out to great!

These cookies, because of the lack of fat (except for the peanut butter) are more chewy which gives them a taste like banana bread.  They also, are not super sweet, so if you wanted to add more honey you could do so.

I topped the cookies with roughly 1 Tsp. of Nutella on top.

These are perfect for anytime of the day, on the go snacks, or bed time treat.

Hope you enjoy as much as we did!

  • 2 Medium Over-ripe bananas
