Barney’s Banana Granola Cookies
 ½ cup butter or margarine, softened 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 egg ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup mashed bananas 1 ½ cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup granola Grease 2 cookie sheets. In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add the egg, vanilla, and bananas, bating until well blended. Add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, and mix until blended. Stir in the granola. Drop by the tablespoon onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Makes about 4 dozen. Recipe by Harvey Bullock, writer From Aunt Bee’s Mayberry Cookbook I was so excited when I found this cookbook in an antique/flea store in Marietta, Georgia. I grew up with the Andy Griffith Show, and still see it occasionally on television. The family values and gentle humor still hold up today. Aunt Bee (played by Frances Bavier) was always known as a superb cook and this cookbook is dedicated to her memory. Lots of good recipes and some very strange ones (Briscoe Darling’s Hoot Owl Pie is just one of them!) Hope you enjoy these cookies as much as Barney did. |
