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 combination of the bananas and oatmeal make for a flavorful combination.

How To Make:

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 size)
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. Then add your egg, bananas, oats, and nuts. Mix well. Drop on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 - 15 minutes.
