Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 c. shortening
1 egg (beaten)
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 c. sugar
1 c. mashed ripe bananas (3-ish)
1 3/4 oatmeal
1/2 tsp. soda
1/4 tsp. nutmeg (opt but good)
1 pkg. chocolate chips

Mix all together. Bake @ 400 for 10-12 min. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

Price Guesstimate: I don't try and guess on baked goods! :)

Steph's Comments: This is my mother-in-law's recipe, and it's a great way to use old bananas! My mother-in-law had 3 boys and they would (and still do!) gobble these up. They're a really tasty treat. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll bet you substitute applesauce or mashed beans for at least part, if not all, of the shortening to help cut down on the fat. I'll have to try and let you know!
