Banana Overload Oatmeal Cookies

I have enough recipes for three lifetimes...and this is just one more I FINALLY tried! I had an overabundance of over-the-hill bananas and used them all in one fell swoop with this recipe! Easy, moist, tastes good! Not too many cookies left after only one day either! Feel free to change the spices to your liking! Sorry...no clue as to the origin of this recipe. Prep time and baking time are guesstimates. I use commercial-sized sheets so it doesn't take me too long!
