Actually, these are not “real” cookies. But we call them cookies in the Gibson household and my children love them. I like to keep things simple and these really are easy to “make”.

Wash and peel a banana. Banana skins are sprayed with fungicide so unless the bananas are properly washed, be careful not to touch the skin and then the bare fruit. Wash your hands again before handling the fruit.

Slice the banana into 1/8 inch discs.

Lay them on a plate and sprinkle some cinnamon powder over them That's it! It's a treat to my kids. Easier to “make” than cookies and definitely healthier.

By the way, cinnamon powder reduces blood sugar levels in diabetics, so it also has health benefits!

Some of you might want to do cinnamon sugar or even decorate the center of each “cookie” with a chocolate chip. But I think cinnamon powder is sufficient especially if you want a “healthy cookie”. Sometimes I sprinkle some cocoa powder over the discs.

You can be as creative as you want using the banana discs as the base – seeds, nuts, tiny berries....just have fun!
