Monkey Cookies for Toddlers

Our granddaughter has learned how to say cookie,

although it sounds more like "too tee"

so I started a quest to find a cookie recipe that

would be a little more healthy than the store bought ones.

Here is what I found

Monkey Cookies

2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 c. sugar

2/3 c. softened butter

2 eggs

2 bananas mashed

1 tsp. vanilla

In my electric mixer I mixed together the eggs,

 butter, bananas and vanilla.

Then added the sugar, salt, baking powder and flour.

I used a Tablespoon from my measuring set and

placed Tbsp. of dough on a parchment lined pan.

Bake at 400F degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Made 3 dozen this way.

My husband said it smelled like banana bread baking

and our granddaughter approved.
