Banana Nut Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES I

Steps:

• 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.

THIN & CRISPY BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Space two oven racks so that the oven is divided into thirds. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, a few minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg, mashed bananas and vanilla extract; beat until combined. Add the flour and oats mixture and mix on low speed until well combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be wetter than most cookie doughs; that's okay.
• Scoop large balls of dough (about 1½ tablespoons) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 3 inches apart, as they spread quite a bit (I use a small ice cream scooper with a wire scraper). Bake for 14-17 minutes, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back midway through, until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The Cookie Dough can be Frozen for up to 3 Months: Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) To Freeze After Baking: Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

• Mix together brown sugar, egg whites, mashed banana, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
• Add flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and stir well to combine.

BANANA NUT OATMEAL COOKIES

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.
