Eat up 'em up pretty quick or refrigerate them though - I'm not too sure how well they will hold up on the countertop. Just treat 'em like you would banana bread.
Anyway, these are super soft coming out of the oven so I do highly recommend using parchment paper cuz otherwise they tend to want to stick, yes, even to non-stick cookie sheets. Let them cool on the parchment paper long enough to firm up a bit before transferring them onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Once they are fully cooled, they'll firm up a bit, but expect a softer, more cake-like cookie from this recipe.
(And there's another one of those 70s dishes again! Groovy.)
