Directions:
Directions:
Cream shortening and sugar; add egg and vanilla. Add bananas. Beat well. Sift and add dry ingredients. Bake 10 minutes at 350º. (I put parchment paper down on my cookies sheets rather than greasing).

Frosting:
Bring cream/milk and butter to a boil and add powdered sugar (about a 1/3 c. at a time) STIRRING CONTINUOUSLY until the desired consistency to spread. Add 1 tsp. vanilla and stir in. It’s easiest to frost the cookies while the frosting is still warm/hot. It’s very difficult to spread once it cools.

Personal Notes:
This recipe is from the cookbook my mother, Nancy and her alter society published the year I was born. They are delicious and great with a tall glass of milk or coffee.
