I had some ripe bananas at home that nobody
wanted to eat instead of throwing them so I made
these yummy cookies. I used mashed banana, butter, flour and toasted cashew. You
can also add raisins, chocolate chips,
chopped walnut, almond or peanut if you want. The sugar is much reduced since
the natural sugar in the banana makes it sweet enough. These cookies turned out
so moist and tender on the inside but slightly crisp on the outside. The cookie
has a lot of cashew nut and so it tasted nutty. Totally these cookies are
irresistible!
