Banana Drop Cookies

Mom has lots of cookie recipes in her recipe box. She made all types of cookies, but I don't remember these. Nevertheless, the cookies sounded delicious, so I decided to give them a try. The cookies are delicious, especially when they are still warm from the oven. And, even if you don't eat them all as they come out of the oven, warm them up in the microwave for a delicious treat.

When I made these cookies, I used a little bit more of the banana then the recipe calls for. I also left out the nuts. Although walnuts are very good when paired with banana, I brought these cookies to a party, so I left out the nuts to accommodate nut allergies. Whether you use nuts or not, these cookies are delicious.
