Banana Date Cookies

BANANA DATE COOKIES

Mash 2 or 3 bananas (medium to large size)

Add:
1/3 - 1/2 cup or so of apple butter, pear butter, or apple sauce (or use another banana)
1/3 - 1/2 cup or so of almond butter
1/2 - 1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp or so of vanilla (can you tell I don't really measure anything?
1/4 - 1/2 cup cocoa (optional - add only if you want chocolate cookies)

Mix above ingredients. Then add:

1 cup chopped dates (or more if you want sweeter cookies)
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups or so of quick oats (you could use large flake oats if you had those on hand)

Dough will be too wet to roll, so drop by Tbsp onto greased cookie sheet and flatten into the shape you want (they will not rise or grow at all in the oven). Bake for 20 minutes at 350.
