Years ago I lived a short time in Manhattan, KS.  I was serving on staff at one of the local churches as the Children’s Pastor and rented out a room from a woman in the church who introduced me to this delicious recipe.  I’ve been hooked ever since.

Whenever I have some bananas that are a little too ripe, guess what recipe comes to mind?  Bingo… these banana cookies.

    I shouldn't have read this one before breakfast….I'll just eat a banana to hold me over! These sound easy and look yummy! Thanks for passing along! paula ♥ (do you think you can use liquid canola oil in place of the shortening?)

    Mmmm! I have had banana muffins, cake and bread but never banana cookies! The addition of frosting makes them sound (and look) even more delicious!

    I'll tuck this one away for the next time I have brown bananas 🙂

    Kelly, I am wondering if I could use butter instead of margarine in the frosting… would the frosting still come out the same?

      Hi Nicky! I honestly don’t know and I hate to say, “go for it” and it be a complete flop. Feel free to experiment, but I can’t say that I have tried it and it’s worked. I wish I could be of more help. Keep me posted if you do try the substitution. Hugs!

    Doubt you’ll even see this since your original post is so old, but thought I’d throw it out there. I was just getting ready to make these cookies. I noticed I’d made some comments to myself in the margin…couldn’t decipher what I was trying to remind myself! Came to Google to see what some other recipes looked like. That’s when I found YOUR POST! I live in Manhattan, KS and got this recipe from a lady named Connie that I worked with at Stonecreek Family Physicians in the early 2000s! What a coincidence! Little old Manhattan, KS and banana cookies…CRAZY! BTW- figured out the note. It was just to remind me of the consistency of the frosting! Lol!
