Banana Oatmeal Cookies
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup plus 1 Tablespoon softened butter
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup finely chopped pecans
Instructions
  1. In bowl of electric mixer, cream together brown sugar and butter.
  2. Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Cut in butter mixture to flour mixture using a pastry blender. Stir in beaten eggs, mashed bananas, oats, and nuts until well-blended. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  4. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a nonstick baking sheet, or a lightly greased cookie sheet to make about 3-1/2 dozen cookies. These will be smaller cookies, but if you like them little bigger (as my husband does) make 2-1/2 dozen using a cookie scoop.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden around the edges and cookies are done in the middle. Remove from oven and let sit for a minute on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
