I liked these, but didn't love them. I took these to a function this morning as one of four cookies, and these were eaten the least. I may try again and add more spices, as other reviewers have suggested. I also would have to agree with others that they are probably great for kids as they are. I had trouble keeping the bottoms from browning; wish I'd noted the reviewer who suggested lowering the temperature!

Very good cookies, moist and cakey. I accidentaly mixed the cinnamon in at the same time as all the other dry ingred. (not paying attention again, trying to do too many things at once!) So I added an additonal 1/2 tsp of nutmeg also. I skipped sprinkling the cinn/sugar mix, and just baked them for 9 minutes. They came out fabulous!! What a great way to use up those over done bananas. I am also thinking that next time I make these I'm going to add some wheat germ, to sneak in a little extra protein and fiber! Thanks for the great recipe!!!
