Banana Nut Cookies

F-16 momma's Note:

These are so easy and so good! Like banana bread in a cookie size! Even better when they're frosted (mmmm...buttercream :). Can roll them and cut them out, or just roll into small balls and squish with the bottom of a glass. I've used the Betty Crocker and Mrs. White's muffin mixes with equal success. Have yet to try with Jiffy mix though since it's always out.
