BANANA EVERYTHING COOKIES
Here's a treat for the vegans in your life. Adapted from the cookbook "Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar," by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero, these cookies, which are chunky with chocolate chips, walnuts and rolled oats, are best when they are completely cooled, so their exteriors can crisp up. They do not taste strongly of banana - it's just a hint.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray two baking sheets with oil. In a mixing bowl, mash banana well. Add oil, sugar and vanilla, and mix with a strong fork. Add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, and mix until just moistened.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
This recipe uses very ripe bananas, the ones which you would not want to eat. The riper the bananas are, the more flavor they have.

MARTHA STEWART BANANA-WALNUT CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES
Honestly, I'm not a big Martha fan. But a friend got me a free subscription to Martha's magazine. Normally I thumb through it and toss it within 2 or 3 minutes. One month, this recipe on the last page caught my eye. With a title like this, how could I not save it?!?! I just made it today (am actually in the middle of baking as I type) and it is AMAZING! If I had more chocolate, I'd be baking another batch instead of posting this....

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to set.
Conclusion:
These banana walnut chocolate chunk cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
