Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I felt like making cookies last night, so I tried this recipe from my home ward's new cookbook, and added and changed a couple ingredients (which I included in this copy.) My roommate and I had a movie party with one of our friends, and he kept saying how delicious they were, ate 7, and then took a plate home. We all enjoyed them and they are at least  little bit healthier with bananas and oatmeal, right? :)

What was left after last night

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies


1 C. Sugar
1 Stick butter, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 C flour
1 C ripe bananas, mashed
2 C old-fashioned oatmeal
1 1/4 C old-fashioned chocolate chips (milk, good ones)
Walnuts (opt.)

Cream sugar and butter together. Add vanilla and eggs. Sift together the dry ingredients and then add. Add bananas, dry oatmeal, and chocolate chips (and walnuts if you'd like.) Bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the bottom of the cookies are slightly brown.
