Banana Cookies

These are one of my absolute favorite cookies of all time! They are soft and delicious and are perfect for those browning bananas!
My grandma’s cookbook really does have some of THE BEST recipes in it. She gives each grandchild two of her cookbooks when they graduate high school to help them get started on their own. One of these cookbooks is dedicated purely to desserts, the other is for everything else!
I have treasured these two cookbooks over the past years. I have it on my bucket list to try at least every single recipe in these cookbooks at some point my life time (I still have a LONG way to go! haha!)
I remember as a little girl, my grandma and I would always make these cookies together regularly…probably because she knew how much I loved them! It is also an awesome way to use up brown bananas!
I changed her recipe up just a bit to replace the shortening with butter and because of that changed a few of the steps around.
I promise these will be a huge hit! They are so soft and taste like banana bread in cookie form! This is a must try!
