Banana Drop Cookies (egg-free)

Hey! Want some yummy cookies? That don't contain eggs? One of my cute little cousins is allergic, so I like this alternative recipe.


Preheat oven to 375'.


You'll need:


-2/3 c. Shortening
-1 c. Sugar
-1/2 c. Applesauce (eq. 2 eggs)
-1/2 tsp. Vanilla
-1 c. Mashed bananas (approx. 2)


-2 3/4 c. Flour
-2 tsp. Baking powder
-1/2 tsp. Salt
-1/4 tsp. Soda


-1 c. Semi-sweet chocolate chips (as desired)


Cream together first group of ingredients. Shortening will be a little choppy and mixture won't look totally smooth. That's ok.
Add dry ingredients gradually while mixing.
Add chocolate chips.


Spray baking sheet lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon out dough into 1-inch balls and drop onto sheet.


Bake for 14-15 minutes. Remove immediately and allow to cool on rack or towel.


Recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies.


Yum.
