In my mind I knew I needed to be working on something other things but I had some overripe bananas staring at me. At my house I buy bananas and two things happen. Either the are gone in a day and I’m wondering if we got a monkey I didn’t know about , or they sit on the counter and over ripened. This week it was the later of the two.  This is how these Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies were born, nobody ate the bananas.  I have several other recipes if you have bananas you need to use Maple Banana Cake or a little easier Apple Butter Banana Bread.

• Ripe Bananas

I am a cookie lover!! I love them soft , chewy , crisp …well let’s just say I have never met one I didn’t like. These cookies are soft and chewy and almost have a cake like texture. If you bake them a little longer then they do get a little more crisp. No matter how long these are baked they are just to die for. Start by mashing those bananas really well.

Cream together butter and both sugars until nice and fluffy. Blend in mashed bananas , egg and vanilla.

Add  Flout, salt , baking soda and cornstarch.

Fold in oats and chocolate chips .

Scoop dough out onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 11-13 minutes .

Let them cool slightly and transfer them to a cooling rack.

Enjoy while warm or let them cool…I love them warm with a big glass of milk.
