OK. The truth is out. I have been listening to books on CD when commuting to work for years and lately have discovered Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen mysteries. These are entertaining "who-done-its" with recipes (mostly cookies) interspersed. Hannah has an understandable relationship with her mother (Dolores) and is entertaining proposals from two men she is dating (Mike and Norman). I think she should marry Norman. Now.
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 overripe banana, mashed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (about half a 12-ounce bag)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and mix well.
Mash the banana, add to the bowl along with the vanilla and mix well.
Mix in the vanilla.
In a separate large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips. This dough will be wet.
Drop by 1 to 2 tablespoonful onto parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake 12 to 15 min until edges are golden.
Cool on a wire rack.
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies were part of the Plum Pudding Murder and I found several recipes then I searched on-line. So I choose the cookies that included oatmeal.
I started with the 
Kelsey Nixon (cookingchanneltv.com) recipe and made a few alterations. These cookies were delicious while warm from the oven with milk on the side (Ivy was dunking). They are light and slightly cakey with crispy, caramelized edges. Yum.
