Banana Cookies

 

1. Cream together:

 

1 c. butter or margarine

2 c. sugar

1 t vanilla extract

 

2. Add:

 

1 c. mashed fully ripe bananas

 

3. Beat until well mixed.

 

4. Sift together:

 

3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

 

5. Add a little of the banana mixture to the flour mixture, beating

well.

 

6. Continue to gradually add all of the banana mixture, beating well

after each addition.

 

7. At this point, you can bake the cookies or refrigerate the dough

for later baking. (Note: the dough will be sticky.)

 

8. To bake, place small balls of dough onto an ungreased cookie

sheet.

 

9. Bake at 375 degrees (F) for 10 minutes, or until edges begin to

brown. (Note: Lift the edge of the cookies to be sure they don't get

too brown on the bottom.)

 

10. Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool.

 

11. Store in an airtight container to ensure that they don't dry out.
