Banana Bars with Cinnamon Sugar Topping : page 134
This is basically a tender banana cake with the excellent addition of cinnamon sugar as a topping. I didn't use their recipe for cinnamon sugar but just mixed 1 1/2 tablespoons of white sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon and put the whole amount on top. Also, I used a 9x9-inch pan (81 square inches) because I no longer have a 7x11-inch one (77 square inches), as it calls for, and it worked fine.
This recipe has no eggs in it, which could be of interest to people with an egg allergy, but it does have nuts and wheat flour in it.
This does not make a fancy cookie, but it would be good as one of a selection because it offers a unique flavor (banana with cinnamon) and texture (very cakey and soft) compared to many other cookies.

Cinnamon Corn Flake Cookies : page 44
This makes a crunchy and chewy fairly sweet molasses spice cookie. They're easy and inexpensive to make. They're a homey kind of cookie and a nice change from the stand-bys like chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin.
Ingredients: flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, salt, butter (only 1/2 stick), corn flakes, sugar and molasses.

Orange and Chocolate Icebox Cookies : page 168
This makes an attractive pinwheel cookie. The flavors are a bit muted, both the chocolate and the orange, so I can't rate it as excellent, but it's very good.

Three-Ingredient Cookies : page 35
The ingredients are: an egg, peanut butter and white sugar. When I first made these cookies, I was not very impressed by the flavor. But after they had sat for several hours, the flavor and texture improved so that they became very tasty and excellent.
