Banana Shortbread Cookies

Easy Banana Shortbread Cookies recipe. This homemade dessert recipe is actually fairly healthy, they make a great snack!

So here's the situation. I am one of those people who can only tolerate eating bananas if they are mostly green. Any riper than that and I can't stomach it. I'm a little picky with them, so that is why I bake with bananas quite often.

But I have gotten smarter with buying bananas, so now I buy only two or three at a time. The problem with that though is that if they go ripe, I don't have enough bananas to bake with.

Enter these shortbread cookies. Using only one ripe banana, there is no need to buy more bananas so that you can close them up in a bag until they ripen up. Perfect!
