Hannah Banana Birthday Cookies

This week my sister turned 20 years old! Hard to believe she is already out of her teens, seems like yesterday we were just 2 little kids tearing up the house and driving our parents crazy. We are quite a few years apart in age, so growing up we fought all the time! She was young and drove me crazy and I wanted nothing to do with her. Now though we are closer then ever and she has become a best friend over the past couple years (which surprisingly enough our parents always said would happen). So instead of doing the whole cake thing for her this year I asked her what ingedients she likes the most in a baked good. Her answer was blueberries and macadamia nuts. It was like a lightbulb went off for me. Hannah was known as Hannah Banana as a child and what better to add to the mix then bananas. So on a snowy afternoon with my sister lazing around on the couch, I put together the following recipe and it turned out really well. My sister loves them, so it's mission accomplished.I hope you will love these as much as she did, and don't forget to add a little music to your baking.
