this recipe only made 2 1/2 dozen for me and they were pretty small. not sure I could ever get 4 dozen out of it -
These were a hit! Used my neighbors as taste testers and they LOVED them! Had to give them the recipe. : ) Easy to make and better than banana bread for sharing! I didn't have orange zest so I used orange extract in the cookies and then decided to use orange extract instead of vanilla in the frosting too. Great choice! I used a cookie scoop and they were all so uniform. I had to refrigerate the dough in between batches, but they still baked great. Thanks so much for a recipe that uses over ripe bananas. I needed something more than just banana bread! Keeping this recipe for the Family Recipe book! -
This was better than what everyone else said they were! They are amazing! I made mine with the addition of semi-sweet chocolate chips and that just kicked it up a notch. I made a few of the cookies without the semi-sweet choco chips and they were still worth all 5 stars. I will be making this again and again! -
These are so much better than I thought they would be. They are really moist and the frosting puts them into another universe! They have the consistency of pumpkin cookies; cake like. If you have any ripe bananas, try these for something different besides the good old stand by-- banana bread.

These were wonderful, but I made a few changes. I used margarine instead of butter and 1 tsp. of vanilla. Then I added 1 cup of chopped pecans and 1 cup of chocolate chips which truly enhanced the flavor of this cookie. I used 1 large Tbsp of dough per cookie and ended up with 24 cookies. Thanks again for this great recipe.
