Ginger banana cookies - MMMM!!!

Mudmama asked me to post some recipes for Nature girl as they are baking to help with reading, math and dexterity, and, I am sure, the sheer fun of it. Here for her mixing mashing pleasure are:

Emily and Willow's Ginger and banana cookies

1 1/2 cups of flour (all purpose)
1/2 cup almond flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp ground cloves

Mix well - With hands! (even baby hands - with no egg, simply remove baby/ toddler clothes, hide stainables and have at it. Willow loves this part!)

In another bowl mix
3/4 cup soft butter
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup brown sugar
1 ripe banana

Mix well with hands and a spoon

Mix wet and dry ingredients together.

Place on a prepared cookie sheet, flatten (baby hands work great, though results are not uniform! )

Bake for 8-10 minutes in oven at 325 or so. My oven is hot so we have to keep on eye on these.

Tada - yummy cookies to get with milk, water , tea, bubbas..

Enjoy!
