– 250ml white or brown sugar
– 1 large egg
– 2ml vanilla essence
– 3ml ground nutmeg

– 2 ml bicarbonate of soda

Recipe Method

* Beat the margarine, mashed banana, sugar, eggs and essence together very well until creamy.

* Blend in the remaining ingredients. Chill while the oven reaches 190 °C.

Hints & Tips

– Enjoy as they are, or sandwich together spread with peanut butter – no sugar added.
– Cookies are always softer textured than biscuits, which are crisp and higher in fat and sugar.
