Diced up cherries blended in with the Almond Macaroon base....yummy!!

Had some left over bananas and didn't want to make more banana bread....so decided to try something a little new and came up with these!  They are absolutely delicious!




The Recipe for these little gems is:
2 cups of ap flour

1 cup whole-wheat flour

2 teaspoons salt

1 tsp baking soda

3 sticks unsalted butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 cup light-brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tbsp vanilla

1 cup mashed banana (about 2 large)

2 cup rolled oats

16 oz semisweet chips or chunks

1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together flours, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl; set aside. Put butter and sugars into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined. Mix in banana. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in oats, chocolate chips and walnuts. 

Drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden brown and just set, 15  minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely. Cookies can be frozen in freezer bags for up to about 1 month.

Gearing up for Halloween.  I've already started offering Mummy Cookies, which are made from a combination of almond paste, cocoa, flour, and a little bit of this and a little bit of that and then dipped in white chocolate.  They are absolutely delicious!  Posting a pic of them for you to see here.  I've also made some cute little pumpkin cookies and will be making yummy eyeball cookies.  As soon as I can get the pics up of those, I will post them here for you to see!  Hope you enjoy my site as well as my cookies!  Please let me know what you think of either!
