Banana Oatmeal Cookies

1 1/2 cups shortening
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
3 3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup nuts (optional)
1 cup chocolate chips
2 cups mashed banana

Mix all together and place on greased cookie sheet (dough will be very moist.)  Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.  (I creamed the shortening and sugar and then added the banana and vanilla.  Then I added everything else.)
