Healthy Banana Cookies

Chris and I were both trying to eat semi-healthy before the beach since that's usually our routine before we go on vacation. (Disclaimer: by "we" were trying to eat healthy, I mean he was being really good about it and I was sneaking cookies and chips every chance I could get. Hey, a girl's gotta eat.)

So in order to satisfy my sweet tooth and also try to keep to his requests to maintain a healthy diet for a few weeks, I made some banana cookies for us to nosh on. The ingredients are very simple and figure-friendly, and they also allowed me to kick my cravings without overindulging. Enjoy!
