Banana Cake Cookies

Anyway, I did accidentally add an extra banana to this recipe and..." See more then read reviews to see most people did this and was relieved!

Great recipe, and by the way I didnt even bother with any icing. May be a nice extra but I didn't even feel they needed anything else.

Light and healthy!"
