I thought these cookies were kind of boring. Nothing exciting on the taste. However...I must admit that my kids don't like nuts and raisins in the cookies, so I omitted them. I ended up putting a little icing on them to make them alittle more sweet. I think I was was looking for a little more spice than what I got. My kids definitely enjoyed them, so I am glad that I made them!

I chilled the dough overnight and they turned out great the next day! I also put the bananas in a small chopper when I was mixing everything together. The cookies aren't overly spicy or banana-y, which is nice.

Awesome! Very light and soft with a strong banana spice flavor. I made these with whole wheat flour and they were still great. Thanks for the recipe! A definite keeper!

I had some overripened bananas and wanted to use them. I normally would make bread or muffins, but I decided to make something different. Basically they taste like bread or a muffin in a cookie like form. They were good and tasty (I always use half whole wheat flour), but I guess I am not a huge fan of the cakelike cookie. I may as well have made the muffins because I prefer that over these cookies. It's no reflection on the recipe at all. It's just my preference. they almost reminded me of muffin tops. So if you like a cakelike texture and bananas, you will love this recipe. I just don't consider these your typical cookie, which I prefer more.

Exactly what I was hoping for. I didn't do the icing, because I made these cookies for my little boy. He loved them, and so did I. They were very moist and tasty!

These cookies were good, but I modified them a little: I used butter instead of shortening and 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups of white flour (a little extra so they wouldn't spread too much), and I added 1 tsp of vanilla and almost 1 1/2 cups of rolled oats. I was generous with bananas, cloves, and cinnamon. I was pleased with the results! Thanks for the recipe.
