Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Whew! What a mouthful, right? I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and it was a hands down winner at my house. Kids....and ME gobbled them up just about as fast as they came out of the oven. They were super moist and held up well to the dunking test.



Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
1 cup margarine
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar together until smooth. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cloves and cinnamon, stir into the creamed mixture. Then add the mashed bananas, rolled oats and chocolate chips, mix until well blended.

Drop dough by rounded spoonfuls onto unprepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove cookies from pan to cool on wire racks.

I did change this recipe up a bit. It asked for 1 teaspoon of cloves. Now..If you have ever worked with cloves then you know it's a POWERFUL spice. So I decreased it and added a bit of nutmeng to go with it as well and it was yummy!
