I forgot to take pictures of the entire process but hey, they're cookies; nothing very epic.
1 cup sugar
1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (2 medium)
¾ cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
2 ½ cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1 cup AP flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground allspice
Heat oven to 350 F. Grease cookie sheet. Beat sugar, bananas, butter, and egg in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed or with a spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Drop by rounded tbsp about 2 inches apart onto cookie sheet (or make balls). Bake 10 minutes. Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Frost with vanilla frosting.
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 ½ tsp vanilla
2 to 5 tbsp milk
Mix all ingredients until smooth and spreadable.
Frosting note: You could probably get away with only making half a batch depending on how badly you want diabetes. I also used a can/jar of store bought frosting the second time I made these and it worked well also. I wouldn't recommend store buying when you can make your own but it saves some time.
These are (I think I can safely add 'easily' here) my favorite cookies ever. I love a good oatmeal cookie and these are just that. Throw in a little banana for a slightly more complex flavor and also a potassium punch and top with extra sugar; you can't go wrong with these little gems! These cookies were such a hit with everyone who tried them. The second time I made them I added some chocolate chips to half of the batch. I'm not a chocolate fan so I don't know how they were but my friends liked them a lot.
those were SO GOOD girl. get it girl.
