hen my 7-year-old son came up to me the other day and asked if he could make something, I just couldn't resist his genuine excitement he had for cooking something with Mommy. I asked him what he wanted to make and since he had no idea, he just grabbed my new favorite cookbook and picked the very first recipe in the dessert section--Banana Cookies. The recipe did not call for chocolate chips and mentioned making a cream cheese frosting for the tops, but Adam wanted chocolate chips, so we used chocolate chips. :) These were a soft, nicely textured cookie (even with the 100% whole wheat flour I used). The kids were excited and eagerly devoured them, and, well, in past times I would have eaten several, but I'm trying to be good, so I limited myself to one. We're definitely putting this recipe into the cookie arsenal. Yum!
The ingredients:
3/4 cup
shortening (Crisco)
3/4 cup
brown sugar1
egg1/2 tsp.
vanilla1 cup smashed
bananas1 tsp.
baking soda1/4 tsp.
salt2 cups
flour ( I used all whole wheat flour)
1 pkg. (12-oz)
chocolate chips (optional)
Directions: Cream shortening and sugar. Blend in egg and then add in other ingredients.
Drop by spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes. Enjoy.
How good were the cookies? Worth a big cheesy grin!
NOTE: If you opt to go without the chocolate chips, try frosting them with a cream cheese icing.
