Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 well ripened banana (cut into 1" or so chunks)
1/2 Cup chopped Walnuts
~2 ounces of either dark chocolate, white chocolate, or caramels, chopped (for drizzling, optional but highly recomended)

Steps:

  • Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, beat both sugars, butter, and shortening together until smooth(I use a stand mixer) Add Vanilla, egg, and banana, beat until well mixed. Stir in Flour mixture, oats, and walnuts until blended. Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, 2 inches apart. You will have to make several batches, but only bake 1 pan at a time. Bake cookies until edges are light brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely. While one sheet is cooling, start baking the next sheet. For Drizzling : Stir chopped chocolate or caramels (if using caramels add about a tablespoon of water) in top of double boiler until melted and smooth. (you can also melt chocolate in the microwave in 10 second burst stirring well between burst until smooth and liquid if you prefer. Using a small spoon, drizzle topping over cookies in zigzag pattern. Let stand until topping sets, about 1 hour, or refrigerate cookies for about 10-15 minutes to set topping faster. I usually use a combination of 2 toppings, drizzled in opposite directions for aesthetic appeal.

The cookies spread out too much in the oven. I think I would chill the dough for longer next time.

The cookies were a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time, like cinnamon or nutmeg.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add an extra egg next time.

I'm not a huge fan of banana-flavored desserts, but these cookies were surprisingly good! The banana flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and the cookies are nice and chewy.

These cookies are easy to make and taste great! I used chocolate chips instead of walnuts and they were still delicious.

I've made these cookies several times now, and they always turn out perfectly. They're soft and chewy with a delicious banana and nut flavor. I love that I can freeze the dough and bake them whenever I want fresh cookies.

These cookies were a hit with my kids! They loved the sweet banana flavor and the crunchy walnuts. I also liked that the cookies were relatively healthy, as they contain oatmeal and banana.

I got rave reviews from my family when I made these cookies! The banana-nut flavor is a classic combination, and the addition of oatmeal gives them a chewy texture. The cookies are also moist and flavorful, thanks to the brown sugar and vanilla extra
