• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and place a rack in the center. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
• Remove chilled dough from the refrigerator. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes if very stiff.
• Drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 1 1/2-inch balls using a cookie scoop or spoon, leaving 1 inch of space around each. Gently flatten each cookie with your fingers to 3/4-inch thick.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, firm around the edges, and set on top, 9 to 10 minutes.
• Place the baking sheet on a wire rack. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring cookies to the wire rack to cool completely.

RIDICULOUSLY HEALTHY BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180c.
• Mash the bananas and mix with the oats, milk and egg before adding the remaining ingredients (it just mixes a bit easier and more evenly this way). These measurements make the mixture just the right consistency for my liking, but if it looks a bit runny to you at this point, throw in another handful of oats to thicken it up.
• Grease a cookie tray with 1 cal spray and spoon the mixture on to make around 9 large cookies.
• Bake for around 20mins until golden brown.

HEALTHY OATMEAL BANANA COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas with a fork until no longer lumpy. If bananas aren't very ripe, a hand mixer may be used. Stir in oil, oats, chocolate chips, and vanilla.
• Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
• For each cookie, spoon about 2 tablespoons of cookie mixture (or more depending on how big you want the cookie) onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
• **IF batter seems a little dry, add a little milk to moisten.
• Variations: Instead of chocolate chips add raisins or craisins. Chopped walnuts are great in these cookies. Or, try coconut oil instead of canola oil.

• 3.Mix the wet stuff with the dry stuff. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together very well, you may wish to add an egg white.
• 4.COOL the mix for 20 minutes in the fridge.
• 5.Preheat the oven to 335 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the recipe which will burn more easily).
• 6.Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet (I recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper). Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking.

Allow cookies to cool slightly then place cookies on cooling rack. Use a very good spatchula or else they will be tricky to get off the pan without breaking!
