Banana Whoopie Pie Cake
While grocery shopping this past week I discovered that bananas were on sale for .19 cents a pound. I knew this would be a great time to stock up for recipe testing. Do you remember that delicious chocolate whoopie pie cake I posted a while back?

Sometimes it’s just fun to eat an obnoxiously big cookie. These cookies are just that! There is no rule that says you HAVE to make them this big, but why wouldn’t you? Sometimes you have to break the rules and make big cookies =P
I have been experimenting with these cookies a lot!
My mom has made this spiced zucchini bread for years. We know that this recipe came from a neighbor who found it in an old church cookbook. Other than that we really have no idea who’s recipe this is. Regardless who came up with the recipe it is delicious and deserves some attention.
As most of you know, Cookie Monday was passed on to me by my good friend Prudy, from Butter Basil and Bread- crumbs. Prudy and I started blogging around the same time; it has been such a pleasure learning and growing with her. I am always anxious to see what she has cooked up!
Today’s #Cookie Monday guest post is from A Cookie Named Desire. I came across Amanda’s page a few weeks ago and knew I had to snatch her up for a #Cookie Monday post. I am so glad she agreed because these cookies look fantastic!
Take it away my friend,

Before I can share this yuummy recipe with all of you,
I am always trying to come up with ways to sneak healthy foods into my sons diet. These butternut squash cookies were a success, he loved them and got to enjoy a sweet while still getting some benefits from the butternut squash. =)
