Banana Bread Cookies

Submitted by MamaBear23

"Cookies that taste like banana bread! My banana bread lover loved these cookies. I had included these on my 2006 Christmas cookie tray. I'm putting the recipe here on Zaar for safe keeping. I don't recall where I got this from, so if anyone knows, proper credit will be given. I did omit the macadamia nuts last year because I ran short."

The dough was sticky, might be my own doing. They have a hint of banana in them, it's not overpowering...I think I'd add more spices next time or maybe some crystal sugar on top. Other than the that, ten minutes at 350. They have a good soft texture, seem moist.
