Mrs. Fields Banana Nut Cookies image

This is an original recipe from Debbie Fields, which I found and posted in a Recipezaar forum in response to a request. It prompted such positive replies that I thought I should post the recipe for others who might be searching for it, too. (Servings are calculated at 3 cookies each.)
