Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Submitted by: Adrienne

1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 c. flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
3 med bananas, mashed
2 c. quick oats
1 c. choc chips

Cream butter and sugar well. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, b. soda, cinnamon and cloves; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in bananas, oats and choc chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Immediately move to wire racks to cool.

Tip: These make GREAT bars, too. Just put the dough into a greased 9 x 13 pan and bake for more like 20-25 minutes (I did it once but wasn't really timing it...just when it's a little golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean).
