Grandma's Coffee Can Cookies

Recipe Introduction
When we were growing up whenever we went to grandma's house she always had these cookies in a coffee can on her kitchen counter. Thru the years all of the relatives asked her for the recipe, and she gave each of us different recipe! So none of us has been able to duplicate her cookies. Some of us think maybe the trick was the coffee can. Sometimes she added some crushed pineapple or nuts. Could be the banana was really ripe. She has passed away, and there is a feud between all the relatives over who has the one recipe closest to hers! I personally think mine is closest. And the old metal coffee can is the key.
