Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

My husband loves these cookies! After our bananas start to get a little brown he refuses to eat them so I pop them in the freezer. After I have about 4-5 I make a batch of these cookies. I use whole wheat flour and dark chocolate because I think they're a little better for you that way! :)  
Try them - I think you'll love them too!

 
3/4 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 c. mashed banana (2 very ripe and one slightly browned)
1 3/4 c. oatmeal (quick oats)
1 1/2 c. flour (I like whole wheat)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. all spice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Chocolate chips (I like dark!!)

Preheat over to 350*F
Cream together shortening and sugar, add egg & banana, stir in oats. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Add to wet ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips until combined. Use cookie scoop and drop onto ungreased cookie and bake for 8-10 min. Enjoy!
