Peanut Butter, Banana and Honey Cookies with Peanut Butter Glaze

by cupcakedaydreams

Peanut Butter, Banana and Honey CookiesJill came to visit me from Providence. She requested peanut butter banana cookies, which to my surprise she just made up and had never even tried them before.  Well, obviously I found a few recipes and baked up a batch for her visit (and for her to take home).

The recipes is adapted from one on Two Peas in a Pod, but I left out the rolled oat because I didn’t have any (and totally forgot to get them).  Oh and I also tried a few with crushed up pretzels or chopped pecans.  Didn’t love the pretzels (they got too soft) but the pecans worked nicely. :)

~Enjoy!
