banana chocolate chip oatmeal crispy cookies

i went looking for recipes with banana when i bought a bunch of bananas and after a few days they looked like this:

i found this recipe on six sisters and decided to alter it a bit to be more like a recipe my mom made me growing up.  they were called "ranger cookies." i'll share that actual recipe another day.

ingredients:

1 1/2 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup salted butter (softened)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large bananas

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

2 cups chocolate chips

1 cup rice krispies

directions:

- preheat oven to 375 degrees

- combine flour and baking soda and set aside

- combine butter and sugars; beat on medium-high until fluffy

- add the egg and vanilla to the butter/sugars and beat on medium until combined

- mash and add the bananas then flour mixture and mix by hand

- mix in oats, chocolate chips, and rice krispies by hand just until mixed

- scoop rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet

- bake for 10-12 minutes until firm and golden brown

bananas added to the wet mix [not too finely mashed]
