How to Make Banana Oatmeal Cooky Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork. Add the mashed banana to the wet ingredients along with 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1 cup raisins (or your choice of mix-ins).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Start checking at 12 minutes.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
