If you want to please your family with a different kind of oatmeal cookie than you normally make then I recommend this oatmeal banana cookie recipe. The mixture of bananas and oatmeal makes for a flavorful combination.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium-sized)
- 1 1/3 cup of quick oats
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I always use walnuts)
Directions:
- Sift all your dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon) then cut in your shortening.
- Add the egg, bananas, oats, and nuts. Mix well.
- Drop on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 – 15 minutes.
