banana cookies

hi.

if there's one recipe people beg me for, it's this one. 

...my all time favorite.

so, i decided it was time to reveal the

B A N A N A  C O O K I E  

recipe.

BANANA COOKIES

1 cube butter, soft

½ cup shortening

1 c. sugar

2 eggs

1 c. mashed bananas (2 whole bananas)

½ c. buttermilk

1 tsp. vanilla

3 c. flour

1 ½ tsp. soda

½ tsp. salt

Cream butter, shortening, sugar and eggs.  Add bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients.  Chill 1 hour.  Drop by spoonfuls on lightly greased cookie sheet. 

 (**These are some of the only cookies I know of, where you won't want to devour the cookie dough. The dough itself isn't worth trying, but put them in the oven and watch them work their magic.)  

Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

 Now for the best part... 

BROWN BUTTER FROSTING

Heat 1 square real butter over low heat until brown. **This is the most important part! Don't let the butter burn, but watch closely and remove off heat once it's ready. Add 2 cups powdered sugar and ½ tsp. vanilla.  Stir in 2-4 Tbsp. hot water.  Beat until spreadable. 

enjoy.
