Banana drop cookies

I had some overripe bananas and didn't feel like making banana bread. So, I looked up a banana cookie recipe. Here's the recipe with my modifications. (I think that next time I make it, I'll cook some apple slices till soft and substitute them for the bananas.)
Add in order (and mix in):
1/2 c butter
1 c sugar 
1 egg
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
1/2 t cloves
1 c bananas (2 - 3 bananas)
1/2 c almond meal (or 1/2 c flour).
1 1/2 c flour (or more, for desired consistency)
Drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 11 min. Makes about 60 cookies.

Pumpkin Raisin Cookies

1 c butter
1 c brown sugar
2 c sugar
2 T molasses

5 c flour
2 c oats
2 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
2 t ground cinnamon
1 t ground nutmeg
1 t ground cloves
1 c raisins
1/2 c water
Microwave raisins in water for 1 min on high to soften raisins. (If using regular oats, add at this time.)   Set aside.
Cream butter, sugars, and molasses.  Add egg.  Beat well.  Add pumpkin and spices.
Add dry ingredients.  Add raisins with water.  Mix well.
Drop by 2-tablespoons-full onto greased baking sheet.  Bake 350F for 10 min  (for soft cookies)  Makes 7 dozen.

1 ¼ c flour
1 ½ c shredded coconut
