Banana Oatmeal Cookies

I got this recipe from a cookbook that my Aunt Debby and cousins AJ and Jaylen got for me for Christmas.  These are the THE BEST cookies! So moist and yummy! I crave one just thinking about them. My 16 month old son LOVED them...........

        would this face lie to you? haha!!!!

Ingredients: 3/4 c. butter, softened
                    1 c. sugar
                    1 egg
                    1 tsp. vanilla
                   1 cup bananas, mashed (it's about 2-2 1/2 whole bananas)
                    1 1/2 c. flour
                    1 tsp. salt
                     1/2 tsp. baking soda
                    1/4 tsp. nutmeg
                    1/4 tsp. cinnamon
                     1 3/4 c. quick oatmeal
                   1/2 c. pecans, chopped
                   Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, and mashed banana, beat well. In a seperate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon, then add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the oatmeal and nuts.
  Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased sheet.
Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake! They may seem "doughy" but that's just because  of the banana...makes for a very moist cookie!!!  Remove from oven and sift powdered sugar on them while they are still warm. yum!!!!!

* Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

  1. Looks yummy and very tempting but I just wish they were calorie friendly. I dont really bake much around here because I think I will eat the majority of the goodies and and be large as a house...lol.
