Tammy is hosting a cookie recipe swap and I have decided to participate. 

These are my favorite cookies of all time.  It took me a couple of years to develop and perfect my super secret cookie recipe, and I have never given it out before.  Bon Apetit! 

WARNING:  You cannot eat just one of these, so baker beware!

Heather’s Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies 

¾ c. butter, softened.
2 c. brown sugar
1 banana
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla
1 c. white flour
1 c. wheat flour
1 c. Quaker old fashioned oats
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ginger
½ tsp salt
1 c. semi sweet chips
1 c. pecans

Cream butter and sugar.  Add banana, egg, and vanilla. Blend well.  In a separate bowl, mix flour, oats, baking powder, ginger, and salt.  Then add to creamed mixture.  Add chips and pecans.

Drop by rounded tablespoon (I prefer Pampered Chef’s medium scoop – you get consistent and perfect cookies with no messy fingers) onto baking stone (preferred) or greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 10-12 min.  Cool on wire rack.  Makes 4 dozen.
