Ingredients
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas about 2-3 medium bananas
- 1 3/4 cup quick oats
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips I used semi-sweet
Instructions
- 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.
