Ingredients:: 12
Yields:: 24 cookies
Serves:: 24

ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup butter, softened
¹⁄₂ cup brown sugar
¹⁄₂ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats
¹⁄₂ cup shredded coconut
1 medium banana, mashed
¹⁄₂ cup chocolate chips

directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl cream together butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg and vanilla extract.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Mix in the rolled oats, coconut and banana.
Add the chocolate chips. Mix.
Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. Press down with a floured fork if desired.
Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Cookies will still look very soft but the bottoms should be browned. Makes 24 large cookies.
Note: I also like to subsitute a mix of craisins, raisins, walnuts and white chocolate chips for the 1/2 cup chocolate chips. This will make the 'Trail Mix' cookie.
