These are wonderful cookies. My mom gave me the recipe but I'm not sure where she got it from. They have a great flavor because of the little bit of banana. I love that I can use low calorie margarine to cook these since most recipes call for butter. Also, the dough is great to eat because there are no eggs in it. Ingredients:
1/2 cup flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/2 cups oats |
5 tablespoons reduced fat margarine (i use imperial) |
1/2 cup banana, mashed |
1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/3 cup chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a saucepan, melt margarine over low heat until melted. Be careful not to brown it. (You can also melt it in the microwave if desired).
3. Pour margarine into a small bowl and add both sugars, banana, and vanilla, then stir.
4. In a separate bowl, combine first 4 dry ingredients.
5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula.
6. Add chocolate chips.
7. If it seems too wet, you can add a bit more flour.
8. Spoon by the tablespoonful on to a non-stick baking sheet.
9. Cook for 8 - 10 minutes at 350 degrees. When you remove it from the oven the middle will still be a bit soft, not squishy. The cookies will harden a bit after you have put them on a wire rack to cool.
