Banana Bread Nutmeg Cookies
Instructions
In your stand mixer or a bowl, combine the butter and the sugar until it gets fluffy. Add in the shortening and mix together well. Add the eggs in one at a time and mix well between additions. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and powder, nutmeg and the salt. Mash the banana in a bowl. Once you have the banana mashed, add the vanilla. Pour the flour and the banana mixture into the butter/sugar mixture alternating and mixing well between each addition. Stir in the walnuts. The batter will seem loose and quite sticky. Use a mini ice cream scoop to scoop the banana cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes, or until bottoms are getting golden. They might not appear done, but if you touch them, they will feel a little like cake and not be sticky.
