These cookies are made using mashed bananas instead of fat. You can substitute bananas (or applesauce) for fat in most cookie, cake and muffin recipes - theyre healthier and tastier.

They also make nice muffins if done in a muffin-pan - one quantity should make about 12 baby muffins. The following variations are all approximate amounts - you can vary according to taste - and as you can see the possibilities
are only limited by your imagination!
