My youngest son loves these cookies. He is the type of child that would prefer a healthy snack over junk food. This cookie is a combination of both.

How to Make Banana Softie Cookies

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 375*. Lightly grease cookie sheets.
Place flour, baking powder, and salt in small bowl; stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugars at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in banana, egg, and vanilla.
Add in flour mixture. Beat at low speed until well blended. Stir in walnuts if desired. (Dough will be soft.) Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.
Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cookies stand on cookie sheets for 2 minutes. Remove cookies to wire racks; cool completely.

Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.
