Best Banana Nut Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

OATMEAL BANANA NUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cream butter or margarine with mixer. Blend in whole eggs, sugar, and extract. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. When the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add oats and pecans. Mix on lower speed until consistent.
• Drop pieces of the dough using an ice cream scoop onto an ungreased cookie tray roughly 3 to 4 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Eight minutes would yield crispy cookies with a chewy, slightly doughy center. For harder, crispier cookies, bake longer. Cool on wire rack.

BANANA NUT OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, beat both sugars, butter, and shortening together until smooth(I use a stand mixer) Add Vanilla, egg, and banana, beat until well mixed. Stir in Flour mixture, oats, and walnuts until blended. Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, 2 inches apart. You will have to make several batches, but only bake 1 pan at a time. Bake cookies until edges are light brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely. While one sheet is cooling, start baking the next sheet. For Drizzling : Stir chopped chocolate or caramels (if using caramels add about a tablespoon of water) in top of double boiler until melted and smooth. (you can also melt chocolate in the microwave in 10 second burst stirring well between burst until smooth and liquid if you prefer. Using a small spoon, drizzle topping over cookies in zigzag pattern. Let stand until topping sets, about 1 hour, or refrigerate cookies for about 10-15 minutes to set topping faster. I usually use a combination of 2 toppings, drizzled in opposite directions for aesthetic appeal.
