Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup butter flavored shortening
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 medium banana, peeled and mashed
• 0.33333334326744 cup confectioners' sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Make the cookies: Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Step 3

Beat shortening and white sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in banana, eggs, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined; batter will be sticky. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven, switching racks halfway through, until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the cookies are baking, make the glaze: Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined. Add more milk as needed to attain a drizzling consistency.

Step 6

Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to wire racks. Drizzle glaze over warm cookies, then let cool for 25 minutes before serving.
