Banana Cookies

So for my Bridal Shower guest where asked to bring a recipe with them.  One of our favorites is the banana cookie recipe i got from my Aunt.  It's so simple and the cookies turn out so moist that i don't even put the frosting on them.  I figured we enjoy them so much I would share with you.

Ingredients

3/4 cup Shorting

3/4 cup Brown Sugar

1 Egg

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

3 Ripe Bananas Mashed

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

2 1/4 cup Nuts (optional)

2 cup Flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix ingredients in the order they are listed. I mix the shorting, brown sugar, egg, vanilla and banana's first then add the rest.

Spoon out on to cookies sheet and bake for 12 minutes.

Frosting

4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

4 Tablespoons Milk

4 Tablespoons Butter

2 Cup Powdered Sugar

1 teaspoon Vanilla

Bring brown sugar, milk and butter to a boil, cool.  Once cooled add powdered sugar and vanilla.  Use enough powdered sugar so the frosting spreads easily on cookies.

ENJOY
