Banana Bread Cookies

I love bananas!  I love cookies!
Why not make a banana bread cookies!

My husbands grandma makes the best Banana Bread Cookies!
They taste fantastic!  They are so soft and moist and the cream cheese frosting simply completes these cookies.


Banana Bread Cookies

1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas, about 3
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup nuts, optional
1 can cream cheese frosting

Cream together shortening, sugar and eggs. Add in bananas, then add buttermilk and vanilla.  Next add in flour, baking soda, and salt and blend all together until combined.
Bake on a cookie sheet at 350 for 10 minutes  They will not look done but trust me they are done.
When cooled spread cream cheese frosting on top.

ENJOY!

My Notes:
I didn't have buttermilk so I found a substitution online and it seemed to work just fine. 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 tsp lemon juice stir and let sit for 5 minutes.
