Ok, to be honest I was a little annoyed. I kept seeing these cookies
toted as “no bake”. I loved my mom’s no
bake cookies growing up and so I was excited to try them. And then as I read the recipes I found which
were all the same, they needed to be baked! I made them anyway. I tasted the mixture before I baked them and
it was pretty blah. I added a little more vanilla extract and a scoop of
sugar. They turned out ok. The boys really liked them but Maia and I weren’t
overly excited. I think my bananas could’ve
been riper because they didn’t mash up great and weren’t super sweet. I
stuck them in the freezer and will use them when emergency chocolate cravings
hit because let’s face it, you can’t beat 47 calories for a cookie.
