These were delicious! I made these healthier by using Splenda, whole wheat flour, and sugar-free chocolate chips. All in all they were delicious and made two dozen by using heaping teaspoons. Made for the Dining Daredevils, ZWT5

I'm having a real hard time knowing how to rate these cookies. They were very easy to throw together and the directions are clear and precise, but hubby and I didn't really care for them. My dilemma is that everyone else that tried them loved them, so, it's obviously just a preference problem and not a recipe problem. They produce a very 'bananaey' cake-like cookie, so, if that's what you're looking for, these will be great for you!
