BANANA NUT PROTEIN COOKIES

Amy said- Definitely not my favorite.  The outside of the cookie was hard. I prefer soft and chewy.  But it can be a good cookie on the go full of protein.  Maybe b/c I used the food processor, instead of mashing up the bananas gently.  Maybe it got too much stirring action and that was why it was hard???
