"A low-fat cookie that tastes pretty darn good. I wasn't blown away by these cookies the night I made them. However, the next day, they were so much better. I think the flavors and texture needs a few hours to develop. The sweet-aholic in me would love it if they had a bit more sugar, but hey, you can't have everything in a light cookie. One of the tricks I do to limit myself to eating just one cookie: Cut up a small bowl of strawberries, sprinkle with stevia powder, then break up one cookie on top. That makes 1 cookie go a long way, and my tummy is satisfied!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat oven to 350F.

Step 2

Combine banana, butter, sugars, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed until smooth. Add egg. Beat well.

Step 3

Combine flour oats, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk.

Step 4

Add flour mixture to banana mixture. Beat at medium speed until well blended.

Step 5

Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Refrigerate dough 10-15 minutes (optional).

Step 6

Spray baking sheets. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls 2" apart onto a baking sheet. The cookies don't spread much when baking so you can fit a lot of cookies on the baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake at 350 for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes, then cool on wire racks.

We love these cookes, delicious and crunchy too, for a light cookie you would never know they are light. I made them for a ladies meeting; they were enjoyed by all, that is the ones i was able to keep away from DH ! Thanks for posting, i'll be making these often. (I did leave out the nuts as one of the ladies is alergic to nuts. Also i used splenda and splenda brown mix instead of regular sugar.)
