Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 cup | Butter |
| 1/2 cup | Margarine |
| 1/2 cup | Sugar |
| 1 cup | Brown Sugar |
| 1 | Ripe Banana, mashed |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla Extract |
| 2 cups | Quick Oats |
| 1 cup | All-Purpose Flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking Soda |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1 cup | Chocolate Chips |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, margarine, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add Banana & Vanilla: Add in the mashed banana and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined. Don’t worry if there are some small banana lumps; they add a lovely texture!
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want a tender cookie!
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
-
Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may seem slightly soft, but they will set as they cool.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows them to firm up and develop their chewy texture.
-
Serve and Share: Once cooled, serve these delightful Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of cold milk, a cup of hot coffee, or simply enjoy them on their own!
