Ok, so on the tattered piece of paper that I first wrote this recipe almost two years ago, I actually titled these the Best Damn Cookies. But I didn’t really want to make such claims since some folks just don’t like oatmeal cookies. But if you like oatmeal cookies and lots of sugar, you should try these out. I promise my next recipe won’t be a dessert. I’ve just been on a baking kick now that its getting cold.

Ingredients:

  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 1 t. oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 1/4 cups oats
  • 3 tbsp. water

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Mix oil, sugars, and water.
  3. Add banana and vanilla
  4. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; then add to above
  5. Stir in oats.
  6. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on an oiled baking sheet. Bake for 13 minutes. If you want a slightly hardier cookie, let the dough cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour before baking.

Enjoy!
