Banana-walnut cookies with raisins (with integral flour, too)

Banana cookies and cakes are really great, raisins butter cookies are great, walnuts are great: combine them all and you get this cookie.

Make it fast and it is perfect! Except if you are getting sores from walnuts: now seriously, isn’t your mouth getting a bit painful from walnuts? I thought that is normal… and it turns out I might be a bit allergic? In any case, I am still eating these delicious cookies.
