Banana Nutter Cookies

Recipe Trial and Pantry Recipe:
Yep, it is another recipe for ripe bananas. You can never have too many of those now can you? I found the recipe in a cookbook I have had for 17 years. Festive Fare: Lite Menus for Playful Days. 

I had never heard of these cookies so they became our Sunday baking project. Quite tasty if I do say so. I think you will like them too. 

 The Recipe
1 Small Banana, mashed
1/4 Cup margarine
1/2 Cup peanut butter
1/3 Cup White sugar
1/3 Cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Cup flour

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cream together banana, margarine, and peanut butter. Add sugars and then remaining ingredients. Place dough by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes. 
Yield 2 Dozen cookies

Cupcake Recipes

I am totally cheating, AGAIN! Whoo I have been busy getting my April online magazine ready. But what I did cook up were some cupcakes. I needed pics of these yummy recipes contributed by my writer, who also happens to be a professional cake bake/decorator. Somehow we didn't get her cupcakes photographed so I ended up making 48 cupcakes one morning. Let me just say that I do not usually make cupcakes. Until now I didn't really get it. But now I so get it. They are fun, they are adorable, they are even more fun and adorable to give away and when you have an easy delicious recipe they are extremely tasty. So here it is the link to Carie Homer's cupcake cooking tips and recipes for double fudge cupcakes, coconut cream and her mmmm mmmm! cream cheese frosting. Cupcakes Not Just For Kids .

Now I will be happy when the last cupcake is gone so I can actually start my after Easter diet.
