Ehhh, not very good. Very cakey/spongey. Very bland, one-dimensional, plain. After the first tray came out, they were so bad, I added chocolate chips to the remaining batter. That added a "tad" of life but still not much. They would need a good cream cheese icing to get any flavor on them at all. And they did not brown up either. They came out a very pale whitish color, very unappetizing looking. I won't make them again, but gave them 2 stars because they weren't a total failure.

These cookies are awesome! A great way to use over ripened bananas. I brought them to work and my co-workers couldn't get enough of these. Thanks for sharing.

It's just like eating banana bread, with that little cookie crunch. I did not include the nuts, since my son cannot take any thing with nuts to school. Instead I substituted chocolate chips, which was a hit. I also added about 1 tsp of vanilla to give it an added touch. Will definitely make these again.

I made these and brought them to a family party. They were delicious and were enjoyed by the kids, aged 2-17 and the adults. I didn't have any left over. Also the recipe made a lot more than stated. I'm not sure why.

My family loves these cookies. I make them with 1/2 c. applesauce and 1/4 c. oil to make them healthier. The cookies are very heavy, almost like a muffin. I now have a recipe to use up ripe bananas that isn't a cake.

These were fantastic the first time I made them. They were a big hit with everyone I (begrudgingly) shared them with as well. :)

Made these with some banana's I had sitting on the counter I had forgotten. Made them and everyone loved them, in fact had to make copies since they wanted to make them themselves. Couldn't be better than that.

They tasted just like banana bread, to the point that I wound up asking myself why I didn't just make banana bread with my overripe bananas and save myself the trouble of scooping cookies. Good flavor, I just was looking for something a little more cookie-ish.

Too spongy! Not really a cookie more like a mini sponge cake.Way too much sugar. If you are looking for a chewy oatmeal cookie this is not it.

Awesome cookies!! Perfect Birthday treat to send to my son's school. The school does not allow nuts so I had to omit those and they also do not allow chocolate. Most kids send cupcakes but I always try to send something a little bit healthier for a change.

I make these with only 1/2 cup sugar. You can't tell the difference. I also substitute chocolate chips for the walnuts or use both. My family loves them!

These cookies are like many people have said they are very light in banana flavour and cook more like a muffin. They are good if you like cake like cookies but I'm not a fan.

Meh. Not the most exciting cookie but a decent alternative use for mature bananas. I omitted the shortening (yuck) and substituted homemade applesauce. Perhaps that's why this recipe was so one dimensional. These are really spongy, cakey little guys. In fact, it might be a nice muffin batter.... Anyway, I added a hefty dose of raisins to the second and third batch and they were much better. Several days later: My preschooler devoured these cakies. After substituting applesauce for shortening and reducing the sugar, these cakies turned out to be a pretty high-fiber, moderately nutritious snack. On storing: they seemed to sweat a bit in tupperware. They got a bit sticky but, like I said, our kid is over the moon for them!

Excellent recipe! The nutmeg and cinnamon gave the cookies an interesting flavor depth and this cookie is mellow enough to add extras to, like dried fruit (i added cranberries). I'll be making this one again for sure.

These did not turn out well at all. I personally hated the banana taste and they were very hard. Maybe I did something wrong, but I threw them all away. Sorry!!!!
