These soft, spicy cookies will make your house smell very nice while they're baking. And they taste good, besides.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (175 mL) butter or margarine
- 1 cup (250 mL) sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 bananas, large, ripe and cut into chunks
- ½ cup (125 mL) pecans or walnuts
- 1½ cups (375 mL) flour
- 1¾ cups (425 mL) rolled oats
- ½ tsp (2 mL) baking soda
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) cinnamon (optional)
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) nutmeg (optional)
Directions
- Dump the butter, sugar, egg and bananas into a blender or a food processor and blend, scraping down the sides a couple of times, until the mixture is smooth. Add the pecans or walnuts and process briefly - just until the nuts are chopped.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Hand your child a wooden spoon and have her stir while you pour in the banana mixture. Depending on your child, she may need a little help getting it well mixed -the batter will be thick.
- Plunk the cookie batter, by heaping teaspoons, onto an ungreased cookie sheet, about 1 ½ inches (4 cm) apart. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned on the bottom, and firm but not crunchy.
