How to Make Banana Oatmeal Cooky Cookies
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- 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).
- 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.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Start checking at 12 minutes.
- Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
