Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Banana, Raisin Cookies

Submitted by Mommy Dana

"A twist on peanut butter cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies. The first time I made these I used peanuts, I will most likely use walnuts next time. But if you really like peanuts, use them, they go great with this recipe. Pecans would also be good."

These are tasty but give a very dry sensation to your mouth. I attempted to remedy this by adding 2 TBS of honey and !/4 C peanut butter, but the difference was not really detectable. Finally made them into "thumbprints" wit a dollop of boysenberry preserves in hte hollow
