Found this recipe on allrecipes.com and made it for the housemate to
take to work. I initially thought about baking this in a 9x13" pan
rather than the jelly roll pan. Glad I didn't. These turned out
really chewy -- my favorite type of cookie! Another good use for
those musgovian bananas you have on occasion :-)

Oh, YUM! These sound great, and a nice change from banana bread.
Thanks, Tammy... :-)
