Chewy Low Fat Banana Oatmeal Cookies

I found these on my favorite (weight watchers) blog.  These are full of flavor and very addicting!  So addicting that I like to double the recipe!
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups quick oats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees; line two baking sheets with parchment paper.  In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.  In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugars on medium speed.  Add the egg, followed by the mashed banana and vanilla extract.  Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.  Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough onto parepared baking sheets.  Bake for about 10-12 mintues, or until cookies becomes light brown at the edges.
let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 miutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 
Store in an airtight container so you don't eat them all in one sitting!

ww points: 4pt for 2 cookies
