Experiment No. 2: Cookies Part 3

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip

It smells like banana bread in my room. The mixture of rolled oats, bananas, and chocolate chips is irresistable. Each cookie is like an individual banana bread serving, crunchy on the outside, gooey and warm inside. Mmmm.

These are my Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chips. I made the rest of them for my dear friend’s birthday. I feel like they are somewhat legendary. They have definitely changed people’s perspectives on different cookie types. I see them as a sort of bridge to newer flavors.

Think of yourself in a cold winter’s day, curled up with a blanket and a book, maybe a candle on the end table next to you. Steam rises steadily from your tea cup and the smell of bananas, nutmeg, cinnamon, and oatmeal caress your senses. You reach for the cookie resting against your tea cup, and take that exploratory step into the unknown. Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip? I wonder what that tastes like….you crunch into the outer crust, into a nutty, homey feel. The oatmeal and banana stick to the rough of your mouth in a good way, and the chocolate is a little satisfactory surprise waiting to dress up your experience. Now you can’t get enough, you are an addict of the infamous Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies.
