Soft Banana Cookies
One of my daughters favorite treats - these soft banana cookies are great to prep ahead, store in the freezer and let thaw before letting your little one go to town! Bonus - they're also delish for adults!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Place 12 cookies onto the baking sheet evenly, 2-3 tablespoons each.
- If you have more banana, add a slice to the top of each cookie.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes - you want them to still be a little soft. Cool and serve.
