    The banana flavor in these is terrific.. the texture is quite soft. if you think if this as little banana bread bites rather than a cookie you'll get it..next time will add a pinch of salt and some vanilla extract

    I used 1/2 C. white and 1/2 C. brown sugar threw in an additional 1/2 C. semisweet chocolate chips cooked for 30 minutes in the 9x13 and voila! Banana bread. Because that's what this is.

    Wow! These are surprisingly tasty! I was pretty skeptical of this recipe but since I had some bananas that needed used up I thought I'd make these for my marathon-running husband to snack on after his training runs. However now that I've tried one I just hope he gets home quickly or there won't be - Read more ...

    I was wondering why no-one had posted a picture of this, and now I know why. It isn't the most attractive recipe. I think it would look better baked in a pan and cut into bars. Very tasty though. Mine were finished before I remembered that I had wanted to post a picture!

    The cookies were okay...they seem to have a personality disorder though...they can't decide if they want to be a cookie or a bread. The consistency and texture are not quite that of a normal cookie...Interesting flavor though...i did leave out the nuts and added mini chocolate chips to mine...but BF liked them better with just - Read more ...

    Very good cookie. I used four small very ripe bananas 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of white flour. And in half of the cookies I added a generous handful of mini chocolate chips. Thanks for the recipe!

    This recipe was exactly what I wanted! A soft slightly moist cookie with a good banana flavor that wasn't too overpowering. I added mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and an extra 1/2 cup of oats and they turned out fantastic! Plus to cut down on clean up I used the old trick of baking on parchment - Read more ...

    I am also attending university and was looking for a snack to munch on while studying. This met all my expectations. I followed the advice of another review and added some vanilla extract and a little more flour. I also omitted about 1/4 cup of butter. I didn't have enough walnuts or any raisins but - Read more ...

    Very good. Omitted the nuts and the nice soft texture was perfect for kids with braces. I added almost 1/2 cup more flour to get a good "cookie" texture. Every one loved them even a picky eater who refuses to eat anything with oatmeal.

    My Husband and I both enjoyed these cookies and so did the men in his office. Many wanted the recipe for their own use. I did add a couple of things when I made them a little vanilla extract and a touch of salt and a little more sugar. I did try icing a few - Read more ...
