Ingredients

⅓ cup unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup shortening
2 eggs
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
¼ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 bananas they were pretty average sized
1 teaspoons vanilla
½ cup walnuts chopped

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.
