I added walnuts and raisins to above recipe per others' suggestions and the outcome was more about delicious and nutritious mini-banana bread rather than the usual oatmeal cookies. I baked these for my boss who will be having surgery tomorrow. I'd been trying to find something with redeeming qualities and this recipe did. They make great "breakfast cookies". Oh, that reminds me, I substituted my homemade applesauce for 1/3 of the shortening (unsalted butter in my case).

Followed some changes by sillysarah. I used 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice, I used 3/4 white flour 3/4 wheat flour. A capful of vanilla, I used 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup Splenda added 4 oz applesauce. Had a really good flavor but didn't seem cooked enough. Next batch I flattened & much better

These cookies came out great! I followed the basic recipe but used brown sugar instead of white and added raisins and dried fruit. The Banana made the cookie super moist but you can taste the banana. It was very quick and I loved that! This is a great basic recipe to add things and make it your own.

I don't know if it was some thing I did or what, but my cookies tasted more like cake patties... I didnt' like this recipe too much at all.

Great way to use up my over-ripe bananas! I used 2 bananas, increased the cinnamon to 1 tsp, and added a splash of vanilla. Next time I will substitute applesauce for the shortening to make them a little healthier.

Tasty little cookies high in fiber and healthy fats. These were gobbled up crazy fast by my gym nut boyfriend! Super easy to make! Great alternative to banana bread for those less-than-ripe bananas.

I made mine with shortening as per the instructions and my cookies did not flatten at all. For flat cookies, butter is a must. Anyway, I used two bananas and creamed them with the shortening and sugar. i doubled the spices as well and added an icing sugar glaze (just dipped the rounded cookes into the glaze).

I just made this recipe today and they are great! I split my batch and made half with chocolate chips and half with peanut butter chips. I made a few testers first with no chips added as well. My boyfriend likes the chocolate ones but I actually prefer the ones with nothing added. They are excellent cookies just as is. They are like mini, light, moist banana breads, so good! The peanutbutter chip ones were good too if you like pb and banana.
