HEALTHY OATMEAL, DATE AND CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES
These cookies don't taste "healthy," which makes them the perfect way to avoid breaking any eat-better resolutions. Toasting the oats before adding them to the batter helps maintain their chewy texture, even after baking.

Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the oats out on a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the oats for sprinkling and transfer the remaining oats to a medium mixing bowl to cool. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter on medium-high speed until lighter in color and slightly fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times. Beat in the egg and vanilla until very fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- In the mixing bowl with the cooled oats, add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt, and mix to combine. Reduce the mixer speed to low, then add the flour mixture to the butter and beat until just combined. Stir in the dates and chocolate by hand.
- Drop level tablespoons of the dough on the baking sheets, leaving at least 1-inch of space around each cookie, about 30 cookies total. Sprinkle the cookies with the reserved toasted oats. Bake until the cookies are lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool the cookies for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.
OATMEAL, DATE, PECAN AND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 2 heavy large cookie sheets. Mix first 4 ingredients together in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, cream butter and both sugars in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix in oatmeal mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Flatten cookies slightly with spoon. Bake until brown, about 10 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheets. Transfer cookies to rack and cool completely. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Store in airtight container.)
DATE OATMEAL COOKIES WITH MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS
Don't let the name fool you into thinking this will taste like a healthy cookie ... it tastes great. I had a few things I needed to use up in the pantry and wow it worked and worked well. This makes a great chewy cookie. Option: Instead of using milk chocolate chips get a chocolate bar break along the individual lines and lay on a cookie as it comes out of the oven. Top with another hot cookie and move to rack to cool.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
- Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are very smooth, with no lumps. This will help to ensure that your cookies are evenly mixed and have a consistent texture.
- Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help to firm it up and make it easier to handle. This will also help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: Baking the cookies at a moderate temperature will help to prevent them from burning. The ideal temperature for baking banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Do not overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set and the edges are just beginning to brown.
Conclusion:
Banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a sweet banana flavor and plenty of chocolate chips. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
