Banana Bread Cookies

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.
