To help interest my kids in cooking, I started with this recipe from my own childhood. My mom made these cookies when I was young. Now my seven children like them as much as I did. We quadruple the recipe the recipe to serve our big family, so the kids get to practice their math skills and have fun at the same time.—Jaqueline Wilson, Armstrong Creek, Wisconsin

I used dried cranberries and raisins in place of the choc chip and used 1/2 whole wheat with the white flour and split the sugar with splenda. All for a bit healthier version and it was very yummy and I will make again.

I make this cookie often for my family. However, I use all whole wheat flour, all brown sugar, and I add butterscotch chips. My family loves it!

Great recipe, though it sure doesn't make 4 dozen! I did regular cookie-size spoonfuls and only ended up with 2 dozen. Will make again with raisins tomorrow.

I had made this recipe in the past! It's really good, too! It's also a good way for using up ripe bananas! DELowenstein

Pretty good! Good alternative to banana bread for those ripe bananas! As a bonus, you can sneak a little more nutrition to the kids with whole grain oats!

MY KIDS AND MY HUSBAND LIKED THESE COOKIES. THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS BANANA IN IT. THEY SAID, "YUMMY" BEFORE THEY COULD SAY "I DON'T LIKE BANANA." I KEPT THE RECIPE THE SAME AND I WILL MAKE THIS AGAIN! THEY ARE SOFT COOKIES, LIKE MUFFIN TOPS.

I used 3/4 white sugar 1/4 brown sugar instead of all white. I also toasted the oats a little bit in the oven before adding them, it gave the cookies a nice texture. Very good!

Nice cookie! I tried dried cranberries instead of chocolate chips and liked them even more.

My husband and I are health-conscious, so I lightened it up a bit by leaving out the chocolate chips, cutting the sugar in half and the butter to 1/4 cup, replacing the moisture & sweetness with 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce and a tablespoon of canola oil. Turned out great! Delicious recipe!
