Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Reese's Cup Cookies

Yes, I know it's a mouthful, but there are not fewer words to describe these cookies. I had bad banana's, I was craving chocolate and peanut butter, and I threw in some oats to be healthy :) Throw it all together and you get a banana oatmeal cookie with reese's. These were different, but delicious. They have the banana bread flavor and kind of a cakey texture for a cookie. If you like these flavors, you'll love these cookies. Here's what you'll need
Butter, sugar, and egg, a banana, vanilla, flour, baking soda, salt, oats, and reese's cups. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar
Beat that together on medium speed until fluffy. Mash up a ripe banana and add to the mixture along with the egg and vanilla
Beat until combined. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, salt, and baking soda. Add to the dough; mix in, but not too much or cookies will become flat. Chop of the reese's cups in bite size pieces and add to the dough
Gently fold in
Cover and chill in fridge for an hour. Scoop onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake
Let cool on baking sheet about a minute. Transfer to foil or a cooling rack. Store in an air tight container up to 3 days
