1 c. sugar
 3/4 c. shortening (I used Butter Flavor Crisco)
 1 egg
 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
 1 tsp. salt
 1 tsp. groung cinnamon (be sure not to cut back on this--I don't usually
 like lots of cinnamon, and the first time I made these, I wished I had 
 used the full tsp.  It really makes a difference.)
 1/2 tsp. baking soda
 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
 1 3/4 c. quick-cooking or regular oats
 1 c. mashed ripe bananas (2 to 3 medium)
 1/2 c. milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips (I like 1/4 c. of 
 each).
 Heat oven to 400.  Mix all ingredients.  Drop dough by rounded
 teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake about ten minutes or
 until light brown.  (About 4 dozen cookies.)
 Good luck!  :)
