Becky's Favorite Cookies

Becky will be home on Saturday for an almost two week visit, so I made a batch of her favorite cookies this morning. It's an old family recipe that I've never had anywhere else.

BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES

1 1/2 C. flour
1 C. sugar
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 C. shortening
1 egg
2 mashed bananas
2 C. oatmeal
1/2 C. chopped nuts

Cream shortening and sugar, add egg, mix well. Add dry ingredients, then alternate banana and oatmeal, and nuts last. Bake at 400 degrees, check after 10 min.
