I use Jif crunchy. Why? Because that's the only brand Costco sells and I
buy it in two-jar quantities. I love it and so do the grandchildren.

I'm getting ready to make these and will wait for the grandkids to grab them
up.

Oatmeal/Banana/Peanut Butter Cookies

3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup vegetable oil spread with no transfat
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/4 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups uncooked oats

Heat the oven to 350ºF.
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and vegetable oil spread and beat
until creamy. (I think I'm going to use butter and to hell with it.)

Add the egg and vanilla, beat well. Add the bananas; beat well. Combine
the AP flour and whole-wheat flour and add to the sugar mixture along with
the pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. Add the uncooked oats. Mix
until blended.

Drop by heaping tablespoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets and
spread into 2-1/2 inch circles. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to wire rack
and cool completely.

Spread two teaspoons of peanut butter on the flat side of one cookie and
press a second cookie over the peanut butter.

Makes 24 sandwiches.
