Used 3/4 cup butter in place of shortening. Boiled 1 1/2 minutes. Used 2/3 cup of coconut. Used old fashioned oats. Great recipe! They turned out great! Very quick to make!! This is an 'ol family favorite, so will be nice to have this recipe on hand! thank you!

I did not change one thing about this recipe and am glad I didn't because it was perfect just as written!! I actually doubled the recipe and made one large loaf and two smaller ones (just cooked the smaller loaves about 20 minutes less). My kids and husband all loved it. I saved this recipe in my recipe box because this is a recipe that I know I'll be making over and over. This is an absolutely delicious banana bread that would be great for bake sales, holidays and etc. Again, you may want to double the recipe, as it'll disappear fast...right out of the oven! This recipe deserves every single one of those five stars! Thanks so much!

My 5 1/2-year old daughter and I made these cookies and it was a perfect recipe to make with her. We used butter-flavored shortening. We baked them for 5 minutes on the top rack and about 5 to 5 1/2 minutes on the bottom rack (so, about 11 minutes at the most). We sat and watched them cool because we could not wait to try them. When we did try them, we both said, "mmmm" at the same time. They are delicious and melt in your mouth. Will definitely be keeping this recipe and make it over and over again!! Thanks for the great cookie recipe!!
