LOW CALORIE AND FABULOUS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
I found this recipe in a Low Calorie cookbook that was written before Low Calorie was truly en vogue. I made these cookies last weekend and the whole family LOVED them. They stay soft, but are best right out of the oven. (They won't stay around long anyway!)

LOW CALORIE COOKIES
I have heard both good things and disappointment about these cookies - got this recipe from a friend and will try them as soon as my current bananas get softer. These cookies are reported to have about 35 calories each without the optional ingredients. NOT the world's best cookie. Definitely for those who can't have regular...

Steps:
- 1. Line cookie sheet with baking parchment and spray with oil. Preheat oven to 350°.
- 2. Mash bananas well. Stir in quick oats and any optional ingredients desired. Divide evenly into 12 cookies and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on pan, then remove to rack to finish cooling.
- 3. Added April 8, 2013: These cookies taste like banana muffins. So don't expect a real cookie taste. But not bad, considering.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter they will be, and the less sugar you will need to add to your cookies.
- Mash the bananas well. This will help them to blend into the cookie dough more easily and will prevent them from clumping together.
- Use a combination of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. This will give your cookies a more complex flavor and texture.
- Add in your favorite mix-ins. Chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, and oats are all great additions to banana cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
These low-calorie banana cookies are a delicious and healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. They are made with whole wheat flour, ripe bananas, and natural sweeteners, so you can feel good about eating them. Plus, they are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are craving a cookie, try one of these recipes. You won't be disappointed!
