I made these yummy cookies for my family yesterday because I had some bananas getting over-ripe. They were a BIG hit with the whole family. Try ‘em!

Preheat oven to 350. Makes 3 dozen cookies.

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder (use the kind without aluminum in it)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cloves or cinnamon
1/2 cup pecans — I used mini chocolate chips instead

Mix it all up and drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 10 min. Cool on wire racks. Yummy!
