I love baking, especially cookies, cakes, and muffins! During the holidays, I tend to do mostly cookies and a pretty good variety of them. I posted recipes for about 15 different kinds of cookies, and a few of them were my concoction. Oatmeal Banana Cookie with Chocolate Chips is one I recently found while searching on Pinterest. Who doesn’t love a good Oatmeal Cookie? Especially when it includes bananas and chocolate chips!
Oatmeal & Banana Cookies with Chocolate Chips
These can be great at any time of the year and taste fantastic when they are heated up for about 5-10 seconds in the microwave. Make sure to store them in a tightly sealed container to stay fresh longer.
I’m sure you can adjust this cookie just a little by using cut up strawberries or maybe raisins. I guess it would all depend on what you like more and what combination you want to try.

Notes
While I was able to find this recipe from another blogger, I do tend to make the recipes my own. I do this by adjusting the recipe to meet our families likes.
