Famous Banana Chip Cookies

These are one of my dad's favorite cookie, and they double really well... the perfect recipe to use when your bananas are starting to look less than perfect...

Mix in the following order:
1 1/2 cup flour (use half wheat and half all-purpose and the cookies are so light and moist)
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup shortening
1 egg, well beaten
1 cup mashed banana (about 1 1/2 bananas, so I usually make a double batch of cookies)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 package chocolate chips (um, dark for me please...)

Drop by teaspoonfulls onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 400* for 12-15 minutes.
