BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES

Go back to this old-fashioned recipe for a cookie to make for the kids. It is tasty, nutrious, and much better for your family than chocolate chips and/or candy bits.


3/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup oats, dry
2 large ripe bananas, coarsely mashed
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and both sugars. Add egg and beat until fluffy. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and spices; add to butter mixture and mix well. Stir in oats, vanilla, and banana. Drop by tablespoon two inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden in color. Cool on a wire rack.
