Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

I needed to use up some bananas so I went online looking for a banana cookie recipe....after combining a few this is what I came up with......and we enjoyed them....hope you do too!

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 1/2 c. flour (1/2 c. of this can be whole wheat flour)
1 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda
1 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 t. vanilla
2 over ripe bananas, mashed
1 1/2 c. quick oats
1 c. milk chocolate chips
1/2 c. semi-sweet mini chips
Whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
Beat butter and gradually add the sugars, beat until light and fluffy.  Add egg, vanilla and bananas; mix until combined.  Add flour mixture; mix just until combined.  Fold in oats, and chips.
Drop onto lightly sprayed cookie sheet using a large cookie scoop.  Bake at 375 for 12 minutes.  Let cool on for 5 minutes and then move to cooling racks to finish cooling.

These are great just like this.....but for something extra special.
Drizzle them with an Almond Cream Cheese glaze.....YUM!
These freeze well too.
