Lemon-Banana or Banana Lemon?

Today has been crazy. But through it all I baked some cookies...well invented them really. I was making to ever-so-famous Lemon Crinkle Cookie recipe from ldsliving.com when I realized "We don't have an egg." Now what am I supposed to do? Finish with out it? Aha! Egg substitute. First one I saw.........was banana. I didn't think much of it until the cookies started to smell more of bananas then of lemon. Oh well, it was worth a shot. In the end they turned our AMAZING! So let me shut-up and here's the recipe!

         Lemon-Banana Cookies

1/2 cup butter- room temp.
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 of a banana (or 1 egg for regular lemon cookies)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar.

-Start-
Set your oven to 350 degrees. Beat the butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Add in vanilla, banana(or egg), lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until completely combined then add salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour until completely combined. DO NOT ADD POWDERED SUGAR. Now spread powdered sugar on large board. Roll dough into whatever size desired and roll in powdered sugar and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes.

*I rolled mine up very small...probably not even an inch and I made about 50 cookies! Not multiplying any ingredients (take note the cookies turned out small) And sorry for no picture...everyone ate them all before I could snap one but they look just like the regular lemon cookies so here's a picture of that.
