This recipe is a little different from others on this site. I swear by Mom's cookies. We had these a lot growing up-especially when the bananas were getting too ripe! Mom would make cookies rather than throw away perfectly good food! This is a great way to use up your bananas, and it's tasty! Cooking time is refrigeration time plus actual baking time. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups sugar |
2/3 cup crisco |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 eggs, unbeaten |
3 ripe mashed bananas |
2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour |

1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
