With the cost of food where it is and the cost of gas to get to the food where it is, allowing any morsel to go uneaten is a sin in my house. Don't buy it if you're not going to eat it. Ya know?
So I bought a big bunch of bananas last weekend, and the two remaining are headed south at a gallop. Today it's do or die with them, and my first inclination was Banana Nut Bread. Then I hit on something a little different. So here we go...
Nana's Peanut Butter Nanner Cookies
Makes about 2 dozen, give or take
Ingredients
1 large egg
half cup mashed ripe banana (approximately 1 banana, which still leaves me with one to deal with)
half cup crunchy peanut butter
half teaspoon baking powder
half teaspoon baking soda
cup of sugar
cup and a half of flour (whole wheat makes them chewier, if you're into that)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a baking sheet. In large bowl, combine egg, peanut butter, mashed nanner and sugar. Mix by hand or with electric mixer. Ad flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix well. Use teaspoon to measure, putting cookies-to-be about two inches apart. Bake 12 minutes until lightly browned. Since the dough is brown to start with, you'll need to keep a close eye on these. Cool on rack and enjoy with your grandkids. Big glass of milk is highly recommended.
