Date cookies

A friend made these for us. She said:
You get 3 ripe bananas and mash them up.  Then add 2 cups of regular oats, 1 cup of dates, 1/3 cup of applesauce, a dash of salt, and 1 t. vanilla.  Mix all the ingredients together and let it sit for about 10 minutes.  Then drop by spoonfuls onto a non-greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  

We made them, added coconut, cinnamon, and a dash of salt. Super easy and everyone loves them! My mom said she could go sugarfree if she made these occassionally.
