Directions
Banana Oatmeal Cookies With Banana Frosting,,These were excellent cookies–despite the two mistakes I made!
1) I forgot to put in the vanilla (I know, who forgets vanilla?!?).
2) I didn’t have shortening, and used butter. I’ve not done this with an oatmeal cookie before, and discovered they are not tolerant of the change. I managed to keep them looking more like cookies and less like pancakes by using an ungreased cookie sheet and putting the batter in the refrigerator between batches.
I wish I had known this before I got too far in the process:
“If you need to, you can counteract some of the spread and crispness in the butter cookie with the addition of an extra egg. Whole eggs or egg yolks give cookies a cake-like texture. So try your favorite recipe with butter instead of shortening and bake a few of the cookies. If they turn out too crisp or too flat, add an egg and try again.”,These are very very good!! Taste just like banana bread! However, they did not turn out like I expected. I thought they would be like an oatmeal cookie in texture with banana flavor. These are more cake-like or like eating a muffin top. I didn’t make the frosting because the cookie is pretty sweet as is. I thought about making a cream cheese glaze and drizzling that over the top. These are a great alternative to the ordinary banana muffin or bread. Great recipe will be making again!!
