Mom's Buttercream Frosting

I followed other reviewers and added the sugar to the warm paste. I also used 1 cup sugar because I like a sweet frosting. I used 3/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup shortening. I whipped the shortening and butter while the paste cooled in the freezer (stir every 5 minutes to prevent skin). I slowly drizzled the paste (at this point I was dubious) into the shortening butter and to my astonishment a fantastic, fluffy frosting formed! I added one tsp of vanilla and one of rum. I used it on Black Magic Cake from this site (split into 4 layers). Great!

Spicy Oatmeal Cookies

I made mine with shortening as per the instructions and my cookies did not flatten at all. For flat cookies, butter is a must. Anyway, I used two bananas and creamed them with the shortening and sugar. i doubled the spices as well and added an icing sugar glaze (just dipped the rounded cookes into the glaze).
