Banana-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've become a big fan of interesting oatmeal cookies over the last few years. I love the Great Pumpkin Cookies I've made in the past (and will make during the fall, so recipe to come...), so when I came across this recipe for Banana-Oatmeal Chocolate Chips Cookies, I had to give them a try.

Wow. They're super tasty. And they're very easy to put together. I highly highly recommend giving them a try.
