Banana Bread Cookies

I saw this recipe on Stephanie's blog and thought it sounded fabulous. I didn't want to lose it or forget about it, so I posted it here!

Cookies

3/4 c. shortening

3/4 c. brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp. banana flavoring (or extract...hard to find...Chicagoan's I found this at Strack and Van Til by Target!)

1 tsp. vanilla

2 c. flour

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

2 ripe bananas, mashed

Mix shortening, brown sugar, egg, banana flavoring, and vanilla. Mix in a different bowl flour, salt and soda. Add flour mixture. Rotate bananas into batter, then mix well. Drop onto greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 8-11 min. (You can also add milk chocolate chips to batter (about half a bag)...which I recommend!)

Frosting

(This is what really makes the cookie good!)

6 T. Brown Sugar

4 T. Milk

4 T. Butter

Powdered Sugar

Bring all brown sugar, milk and butter to a boil. Take off heat, and add powdered sugar until frosting consistency (about 1 1/2 - 2 cups).
