Simply delicious. I added 1 cup chopped walnuts. Frosted them with vanilla buttercream frosting topped with chopped walnuts. Posted a picture. This one is a keeper. Better than banana bread.

Very good cake like cookie. I made it with the recipe ingredients and added 1/2 cup each of raisins, chopped walnuts, chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Increased the vanilla to 2 teaspoons and baked at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Will make this cookie again.

Found this recipe, made a double batch with frozen bananas, so I added an additional tsp of baking powder and 1 cup of additional flour, as the frozen bananas made it wetter, more like banana bread batter. I added 1 cup of walnuts and 2 tsp cinnamon ( double batch, mind you). We like the cakiness that the cookies turned out to be and the flavor. I do intend to do a powdered sugar glaze on them when they cool.
