I posted these banana recipes and made the banana cookies:
Low Fat Banana Oatmeal Cookies
4 dozen
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup fat free margarine
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/8 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl mix sugars, margarine, vanilla and egg whites. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, and cinnamon. Stir into the creamed mixture. Add the mashed bananas, rolled oats and chocolate chips, mix until well blended.
Drop dough by using a rounded teaspoon about 2 inches apart on an un-greased cookie sheet (You can also use an air bake cookie sheet with parchment paper.) You can make the cookies larger but don't forget the fat grams will increase. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown

They turned out very soggy and cakey. They are not bad when cold. Anyway I don't know what sort of FF margarine this recipe is referring to. I used 1/2 DF margarine and 1/2 applesauce. the cookies are fine tasting (have DF choc chunks and craisins in them) but I was wondering how to make them more cookie-like and what the deal is with FF margarine. I didn't even know there was such a thing.  does reducing the baking soda make them more cookieish and less cakeish?
