Banana Cookies {THREE INGREDIENTS!}

Banana Cookies are delicious! We’ve talked about my competing love for dessert and lack of ambition to make it.  Which I consider a good thing, because you’d have to roll me out of my house if I liked to make sweets as much as I enjoy cooking savory foods.  But when something only takes a few minutes and three ingredients, I can totally be talked into it.

These cookies are fluffy and light with just a hint of delicious banana flavor.  Fair warning though, you’re going to have to give them away quickly, or lock them in a high cabinet because they are so addicting!

These Banana Cookies were originally developed for Collective Bias.

I made these banana cookies with the kids and picked up some cute greeting cards to go with them.  I feel like the art of handwritten notes and card giving is waning, and that makes me sad.  I don’t know if we’ll single-handedly revive it, but I’d like to be able to say I at least introduced my children to the concept.

We decided on banana cookies because I found this ridiculously cute Minions card at Walmart and everyone knows Minions love bananas!  The card even came with a fun little Minions clip that I’m hoping my friend will put on her purse (or give to me).

Would it be terrible if I gifted the cookies and card to myself? “Hey, April!  You’re kicking butt at parenting this morning! Love, April” – Okay, maybe not, but I might sneak a cookie (or three) before bringing the rest to my Minions loving friend!
