Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
The Occasion: Two overripe bananas lounging on the counter, good for baking but not much else. We could’ve gone the banana bread route, nothing wrong with that, but hello COOKIES! It was meant to be.

The Verdict: There have been other oatmeal cookies I’ve enjoyed more (including a couple varieties from the legendary Cookie Suitcase). Then again I’m not one to look a gift cookie in the mouth either. It’s perfect for lunchboxes and brown bags – not necessarily pretty nor fancy, but a tasty treat nevertheless guaranteed to spark a smile. ​
