Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!!


A rainy night in means experimenting in the kitchen! Tonight I made the most delicious oatmeal, banana and chocolate chip cookies! I got my inspiration from Bethenny Frankel’s recipe, but did not have the ingredients she used. These cookies were improvising at its finest!



Ingredients
-2 cups of all purpose flour
-2 cups of oats
-1 ½ cup of sugar
-1/4 cup of apple sauce
-3 teaspoons of vanilla extract
-2 teaspoons of baking soda
-1 teaspoon of salt
-4 ripe bananas
-1 ¼ ups of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions
First, mash up the bananas in a medium size bowl then add in all of the other ingredients, mixing evenly.  Use an ice cream scoop and spoon to evenly space mixture onto a cookie sheet (non-stick or spray with cooking spray). I was able to fit six cookies per cookie sheet (they also expand a lot in the oven!).  The consistency was a more like banana bread than a cookie, so this is a recipe I'll be trying again. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, rotating trays half way through. Let cool for at least 30 minutes! Makes 18 yummy cookies :)
