I'm pretty sure I followed the recipe, and these just didn't shape up to be good cookies. The taste is fine, but it's pretty much like banana bread, and it's easier to cook a loaf of bread than a couple batches of cookies.

Good cookies. Next time I will use quick-cooking oatmeal though. My kids didn't care for the texture of the regular oats in them.I liked them though. I tried some with JamesDeans's Girl's banana frosting and they were super!! That's how my kids liked them the best!I didn't add the walnuts. Next time I might try adding raisins or apples. Next time I will make them in my mixer instead of by hand. I think it will be quicker that way.Keep an eye on the timer-I didn't and I burned the first pan.It ended up taking about 10-12 minutes in my oven.

EXCELLENT! I used two ripe bananas, pureed them in the food processor, totally forgot the egg, and used pecans instead of walnuts. These were incredibly GOOD, better than banana bread in my opinion. I think the 400 degree oven is a bit too hot, so I went down to 375 and put them in for 10-12 minutes and they came out perfect!
