Oatmeal Banana Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream together shortening and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the egg until well incorporated, then add mashed banana and mix until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, raw oatmeal, soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
