BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease baking sheet and set aside.
• Cream shortening and brown sugar in large bowl at medium speed until well blended, then beat in egg.
• Add one cup mashed banana and mix until creamy.
• In a separate bowl, mix together oats, flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda and nutmeg, then stir into creamed mixture. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Using a cookie scoop , drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet (if you don't have a cookie scoop, just use a medium-sized spoon to drop cookie dough onto pan. This cookie dough will be too sticky to roll into balls).
• Place cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-17 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool 1-2 minutes on baking sheet, then remove to a cooling rack.

OATMEAL BANANA NUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cream butter or margarine with mixer. Blend in whole eggs, sugar, and extract. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. When the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add oats and pecans. Mix on lower speed until consistent.
• Drop pieces of the dough using an ice cream scoop onto an ungreased cookie tray roughly 3 to 4 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Eight minutes would yield crispy cookies with a chewy, slightly doughy center. For harder, crispier cookies, bake longer. Cool on wire rack.
