Thanks for the great recipe. I was impressed by how light the texture was. I added 1/2 cup of carob chips instead of the nuts & WOW, the cookies didn't make it to the end of the day.

Thanks for a great recipe! All I added was one teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg, for a little extra flavor.

This was absolutely delicious! It came out with the consistency of banana bread, and tasted like banana bread, but thats okay because it tastes fabulous and is super easy to make!!!

I definitely overcooked these, but they were still pretty good. I have to agree blondiegurl that they taste like banana bread, and are not, in fact, that cookie-like, but the only part of banana bread I ever liked was the top because it's crispy, which this cookie has all around. I guess you just can't go wrong with peanut butter and banana. By the way, I added walnuts.

The batter was super moist so I ended up using about 1 1/4 cups of flour and they turned out well. They were nice and soft, unlike most cookies I make.

Hey,

So I really supper wanna make these cookies but, I might be short on ingedience. I was wondering, can I just use more regular sugar if I don't have any brown sugar? And, if I don't have any shortening, would margarine work? Hope someone can help.

Thanks for the recipe.

i made these yesterday for my VERY unvegan friend, and he loved them. the peanut butter flavor is pretty mild in this recipe, so next time i'll probably add a little bit more than the suggested amount (i'm a PB fanatic..). by overall, a great recipe that yields nice, light, fluffy goodness. thanks!
