Here's the recipe with my notes on how I make it healthier:
3/4 cup shortening (I don't use shortening, I do 1/4 cup butter and half a cup of applesauce)
1 cup sugar (I only use 1/2 cup)
1 egg beaten
1 1/2 cups flour (I use half wheat)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp salt
1tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup mashed ripe bananas or 1 cup well drained crushed pineapple
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Bake 375 for 12 min.
The healthier version is still really tasty and the kids gobble them up!

yummy. I have been wanting some of these all week....
Thanks for posting this Mom. We love these cookies.
I made these cookies a couple of weeks ago with Olivia and Reagan, and I totally forgot to add any shortening or butter or applesauce--no fat. The texture wasn't quite right, but it was okay, and they still tasted really good. Of course, almost anything with chocolate chips in it tastes good...
Haha, that's what I've determined with these cookies. It's the chocolate chips that make them. The more chips, the better!
