Banana Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup smashed ripe bananas (I used 3)
1/2 cup milk + 1 tsp. lemon juice (mix together before adding, or use 1/2 cup buttermilk)
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3 1/4 cups flour
Directions:
Cream sugar, butter, shortening and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Add bananas and then mix in the eggs.
Blend in milk/lemon juice mixture (or buttermilk). Add the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not over-beat. It will be a sticky batter. Drop by tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes, until slightly golden. Cool completely.
Banana Frosting
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
1-2 ripe bananas, smashed (depending on how much banana flavor you want)
3-4 cups powdered sugar (more or less depending on the consistency that you like)
2 Tablespoons milk
1 tsp vanilla
Mix all ingredients together and spread over cooled cookies.
These cookies are also delicious with a Cream Cheese Frosting!
