I don't normally make comments but these cookies turned out really well and the ingredients were not overly complicated or expensive. I made a few tweaks because I was out of vegetable oil so instead I used vegan becel, and added 3 heaping tablespoons of brown sugar, and doubled the amount of cinnamon. I forgot to let the mixture sit for 15 minutes prior to baking, but when I made a second batch (because they are so good) I didnt notice a difference between the cookies, so if you are in a hurry or you forget its nbd.

Turned out great. I added a tablespoon of sugarless chocolate. I used coconut oil since it was all that I had. Added 3/4 cup dried sugarless cranberries and 1/4 cup dried cherries. It was fine with only two medium bananas. Because the fruit had such little sugar in it, I added 2 tablespoons of sugar.
