Quick banana flaxseed cookies

I had these two ripe bananas that would not last another day. I hate throwing food away, so I had to come up with something to do with them.  I did not have whole wheat flour to make a banana bread, so I decided to make these flaxseed banana cookies. I found the recipe for banana flaxseed crackers from a blog called Undressed Skeleton. I just changed up the recipe A LOT to make banana cookies.
