Banana Oatmeal Raisin Cookies



Since most Christmas cookies aren't of the meat variety, I have a lot of options for this time of year!  Here are the most recent ones I've tried.  I didn't care for these myself... they tasted a little too much like banana bread, which I don't happen to like.  However, from those who are so inclined, these have been given the seal of approval.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp hot cocoa mix
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 mashed ripe bananas
1 cup raisins
1 3/4 cup quick-cook oats

Soak raisins in 1 cup warm water for 15 minutes.

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl; beat in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Add egg, bananas and oats; mix well.  Stir in raisins.

Spray baking sheet with non-stick spray.  Drop tablespoon-size balls onto greased baking sheet.  Bake at 375 for 13 minutes.
