1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
1⁄2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄3-1⁄2 cup mashed banana, about 1 banana
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg
1⁄3 cup pecans, chopped

Flour a board and turn dough out onto it. Form two 8-inch logs. Put onto cookie sheet and pat down to 1/2 inch thickness.
Bake at 350°F for 23 minutes. Turn oven down to 250°F.
Remove logs from cookie sheet and cool for 10 minutes.
