Frosted Banana Cookies Three Rivers Cookbook I Mrs. J. Robert VanKirk Yield: 6 dozen cookies ¾ cup shortening or margarine ¾ cup sugar 1 egg ½ tsp. vanilla extract 2 mashed bananas ¼ tsp. salt 1 tsp. soda 2 cups sifted flour Frosting 6 Tbsp. brown sugar 4 Tbsp. butter or margarine 4 Tbsp. cream or evaporated milk confectioner's sugar ½ tsp. vanilla extract Cream shortening. Add sugar and blend. Add egg, vanilla and bananas. Sift together flour, salt and soda. Place by teaspoons on greased sheet. Bake at 350o for 8 minutes. These brown only on the edges. For frosting: place in pan and bring to boil brown sugar, butter and milk. Remove from heat and add enough powdered sugar to make runny but spreadable. Add one-half teaspoon vanilla. Keep pan over warm water to keep frosting soft. If it gets thick, add a little hot water. Frost cookies while they are warm. Note: This is one of Ellie's favorites. |
