You are going to love this scrumptious and healthy recipe, and here’s why – These cookies substitute eggs with banana, and uses gluten-free flour instead of white flour.  Gluten-free flour can be found at most health food stores, but if you cannot find gluten-free flower, whole wheat or regular white flour will suffice.  The most important thing to remember about this recipe is to use very ripe bananas- the riper the fruit, the sweeter and more delicious the cookies.  And as is always true with baking, if you feel compelled to add a touch more vanilla extract, it can only improve the recipe.

This recipe is adapted from a recipe from COSMOGIRL magazine.
