What Can I Bring?
A variation on the classic Tollhouse recipe, this version calls for a banana and rolled oats. Yum.
Perfect for: School meetings, office gatherings.
Make and take: Bake and store in an air-tight container for up to four days.
Made famous by: Nancy Baggett, the author of "The All-American Cookie Book, " who has come up with a new use for old bananas.
Hands on time: 15 minutes Total time: 1 hour Serves: 36
Ingredients:
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 medium overripe banana
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter with the sugars. Add the egg, banana and vanilla; beat until smooth. Beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
Drop the batter by large spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto nonstick baking sheets (or line the sheets with parchment paper). Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned and almost firm when pressed in the center. Remove the entire baking sheet to a wire rack to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer the cookies to the rack to completely cool.
