I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies are a great way to use up overripe bananas. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional cookies.
