“A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand”


I was in a mood to use the instant bag of oatmeal cookie mix in my fridge when I came up with these beauties.  

Recipe:
1 bag of oatmeal cookie mix
1 medium size mashed banana
1 TBS peanut butter
2/3 Cup water

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees and spray a non-stick cookie sheet with a high heat cooking spray, such as Pam High Heat.  In a small bowl, mash banana, mix in peanut butter and water.  In a medium size bowl, empty cookie mix into bowl, add banana mixture and stir, mixture will be incredibly thick, you might need to add a little more water.  Drop batter by spoonfuls (about 2 tsp) on to baking sheet 2 inches apart and bake for 8-10 minutes.
