Honeyed Banana Berry Cake Cookies are soft and chewy and a great cookie recipe to snack on during the day! They are healthier, made without using oil or butter!Does anyone else feel kind of sad that the Olympics are ending?  I’m a total Olympics geek this year, which is totally weird for me because it’s the only time I watch sports on TV, with the exception of baseball, and actually enjoy it. Now for these Berry Cake Cookies.

This is also the one and only time I feel good about watching TV every single night for hours upon hours.   Realistically, the TV will probably now go off until new episodes of “Revenge” start in September.

I have a somewhat healthy cookie recipe for you here…..and the best part is that it only requires 4 ingredients – and not one of those 4 ingredients is butter!  These are fluffy, cake-like cookies,… so if crispy cookies are your thing…then these won’t really be your thing 🙂  I like both types – I don’t discriminate when it comes to my desserts.

When it comes to cookies, in general, more fat in the recipe equals a flat, more crispy cookie.  Less fat equals puffier, cake-like cookies.  Just a little tip for you!  Bananas are a great alternative to egg in a recipe. I also love sweetening recipes with honey, like in my Honey Breakfast Bread.

Using bananas seems to always provide the best density similar to eggs in certain cookie recipes.  These Berry Cake Cookies come out of the oven very moist and flavorful!
