I skipped the chocolate chips and added raisins. These cookies are so GOOD! It was hard to stay away from them. So...yeah..I ended up throwing them away only because I couldnt stand to let myself eat anymore, and I had noone to give them to.

These cookies could be counted as breakfast, right? They look great. I've never eaten a banana cookie. I think my kids would love these.
