This banana oatmeal cookie recipe has been handed down in my family for generations. It's a good way to use overripe bananas. It's also a moist cookie that travels well either in the mail or car. This is usually the first cookie to disappear at my house.

Ingredients

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
0.75 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.5 teaspoons baking soda
0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 cup white sugar
0.75 cups shortening
1.75 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup mashed bananas
0.5 cups chopped nuts
1 egg

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2

Sift flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and nutmeg together into a bowl.
3

Beat sugar and shortening together in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add oatmeal, banana, nuts, and egg; beat well. Add in flour mixture; mix well.
4

Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets.
5

Bake in the preheated oven until edges turn lightly brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
