I got these from a freezer cooking Yahoo group. When you’ve got overripe bananas on the counter, bake up a batch of these cookies instead of banana bread for a change! They’re excellent! (And in case you don’t know, if you don’t have time to bake now, you can throw the bananas in the freezer, peeled or not, and cook with them later.)
