I have a friend. Her name is Tamara. She made these cookies. My husband went bananas. I begged for the recipe. It will forever be a family favorite. Tam will always be my favorite. Thank you Tam. xoxo, Rachel
BANANA COOKIES:
¾ C. shortening
¾ C. brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. vanilla
2 bananas, mashed
¼ tsp. salt
2 C. flour
¾ C. shortening
¾ C. brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. vanilla
2 bananas, mashed
¼ tsp. salt
2 C. flour
Mix together and drop by teaspoon onto a cookie sheet. Bake @ 375 for 10 minutes.
FROSTING:
4 T. brown sugar
½ tsp. vanilla
4 T. cream or milk
4 T. butter
Powdered Sugar
*Since my son is on a dairy-free diet, all I need to do is substitute the cream with coconut or almond milk, and butter with shortening or dairy-free butter. So easy, yay!
Bring brown sugar, milk and butter to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat. In a new bowl, add vanilla and powdered sugar to a spreading consistency.

I just made some these with the kids and they are amazing!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. The kids said they liked them better than chocolate chip cookies. This one is definitely a keeper! :)
Wow, banana cookies?! I had no idea such a thing existed!! I want to try. Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!
Two questions: 1) any idea how many cookies this makes? and 2) have you tried with whole wheat flour (in any percentage)?
These look gorgeous, and, like other commenters, am glad to have another way to use up bananas!
Wow! These little babies look DELICIOUS!!! I would LOVE to have you share these at my link party going on!

These look sooooo good! I am a fan of banana anything, so I'm going to have to give these a try. Thanks for the recipe! Pinning it!
These banana cookies look delicious! We're so glad that you linked up to our "Strut Your Stuff Saturday." We hope you'll be back soon. -The Sisters
These are great cake-y cookies - if you make the icing a bit wetter you can just dip the tops in - like a glazed donut. Really good, quick and a little less sugar :)
