Recipe...Banana Cookies

Today is a joyous for me...why??  My son has come home for a couple of days to visit.  I am so happy!!! 

I love spending time with him....whether it watching a Basketball game or just talking, we always have fun. 

I woke up this morning and wanted to make something special.

Warm Banana Cookies sounded perfect with a cup of coffee, it like eating Banana Bread...yum

The cookies are a little cakey. There soft and spicy....so delicious.  It really is like eating a slice of Banana Bread.  Makes for a nice breakfast cookie.
