• Bake, in  batches, until golden, about 10 minutes.  Place baking sheets on wire  racks  and cool slightly. Transfer cookies to racks and cool completely.
  

Variation: Substitute 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce for the 
mashed  banana. Proceed as recipe directs.

Cooking Tips: Use a very ripe, soft banana for best results. Mash the  banana until it is completely smooth to ensure it will be evenly  dispersed throughout the dough.
