Banana, Macadamia and Butterscotch Cookies

I first made these about 5 years ago and left them in a conference room at work for a meeting. Someone came out from the meeting wanting to be introduced to the person who made the cookies. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that I made the recipe up to use up overripe bananas and butterscotch chips I didn’t know what to do with.

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

2 ripe bananas

¾ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup brown sugar, packed

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup butterscotch morsels

1 cup macadamia nuts

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with foil and spray with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter, bananas and sugars together. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add the flour and baking soda and mix again. Stir in the butterscotch morsels and macadamia nuts. Place heaping teaspoons of the dough about 2 inches apart on your baking sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are a darker gold.. Remove to a rack and let cool.
