How to Make Banana Nugget Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup mashed ripe bananas, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats and 1 cup chocolate chips.
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Start checking at 12 minutes.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
