Recipe: Banana Oatmeal Cookies

I decided to make dinner for the family before the last basketball game and had a nice little menu planned. Once I told grandma, it was changed. She preferred banana cookies to banana bread. I had to get her recipe and hoped they turned out well, but fear not they were good so thought I would share it.
