Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease cookie sheets. In a large bowl with
an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually
add the sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, molasses and
banana. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and cinnamon.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture; beat until
thoroughly blended. Stir in the chopped nuts.
Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared
cookie sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the center of the
cookies spring back when lightly touched. Remove to wire racks to cool
completely. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B).
