These cookies were so good! And my kids loved them! In fact, my three yeard old said "They were the most wonderful cookies ever!" They tasted exactly like muffin tops. This recipe will be made time after time! And I am going to add it to our family cookbook! Thanks for such a wonderful recipe!!

Just got them out of the oven - SOOO GOOOD! I added 1 tsp vanilla and substituted dark chocolate bits for the nuts. Also added 1 Tbsp milled flax. Don't overbake as others mentioned. Great way to use old bananas - thanks for the recipe! This will be a definate make again.

Great moist flavorful cookies. I used 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 c white. I didn't have eggs so I added 3/4 t. baking powder and they turned out great. Instead of nuts I added 1/2 c. wheat germ to give them a healthful boost.

I enjoyed this recipe the first time I made it, as is. However, the second time, I made the following adjustments: replace nuts with chocolate chips, add 1 tsp vanilla, and replace shortening with butter. Delicious!

I buy a bunch of bananas every week at the grocery store, & since it's just my husband & I, I seem to end up making banana bread or banana cake every weekend to use up the uneaten ripe bananas :). So I was looking for a different way to bake with bananas. I love these cookies! I love how soft & chewy they are, and I don't mind the cake-like texture. I can't wait for my husband to get home so he can try them...I know he'll love them too!

These turned out great! I am not a huge fan of "cake-like" cookies, but I think these are a great texture. Since I am a moderate health freak, I subsituted some of the white flour for wheat flour, flaxseed meal, and wheat bran, and it didn't weight them down at all! They have a certain banana bread quality, only BETTER! As others suggested, cook for slightly less than 15 minutes, depends on your oven. Huge hit! Update: Even better with chocolate chips!

I got lots of compliments and people thought they tasted like yummy muffin tops. just don't bake for as long as stated or you'll burn the bottoms.

I made these twice, following recipe except one time I substituted butter for the shortening. Both times they turned out okay, but not fantastic. They were a little dry. I liked the idea of bananas and oatmeal in cookies (adds some nutrients although it certainly doesn't make them health food!)

I made a few of my own changes. I used 1/2 margarine and 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce in place of the shortening. In place of white sugar, I used Splenda Brown Sugar Blend (1/2 Splenda, 1/2 brown sugar). I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Because I ran out of cinnamon, I used allspice. I used no walnuts. Baking time was 13 minutes at 350 in my electric oven. I will make this variation again. The cookies were very moist and flavourful.

Delicious! We used two packets of regular instant oatmeal, two packets of maple and brown sugar oatmeal, and one packet of banana oatmeal. Baked for about 10 minutes instead of 15.

I think the cookie dough is a kind of soft. I added 1/4 c more flour than called for the and cookies still spread and flattened a little more than I would have liked. I left the nuts out and put chocolate chips in instead. Decent, plain cookies.

I made these cookies for a party at work. They were a huge hit!! I added cinnamon chips and cranberries to one batch and they were delicious. Even my finicky daughter who doesn't like oatmeal cookies thought they rocked!
