"The cookies have the flavor of banana bread, the chewy texture of oatmeal cookies, and the soft and gooey factor of chocolate chip cookies. They're soft, chewy, moist, and not at all cakey. There's only 1/4 cup of butter used and lots of whole-grain oats, so if cookies can be on the healthier side, these are it. The dough is soft, loose, moist, and must be chilled before baking or the cookies will spread into thin, flat pancakes. Because bananas have differing levels of moisture and no two are exactly alike, baking times could range. Don't get too hung up on what the clock says and bake until your cookies are done. You're going to love the bold banana flavor, the chewy oats that add so much texture, and plenty of chocolate that melts in your mouth in every bite...."
