Banana Bread Cookies
Banana Bread Cookies blend the moistness of overripe mashed bananas with a cookie dough base flavored by butter-flavored shortening, vanilla, and sugar. Baked to a soft texture, these cookies carry banana bread notes in a hand-held treat. A rich cream cheese frosting tops them, adding a creamy and sweet layer that complements the banana flavor. These cookies are suitable when you want banana flavors in a convenient, portion-controlled cookie form instead of a loaf.
