These cookies were excellent--really soft and moist! I made a few changes though: I used margarine instead of the shortening, cinnamon in lieu of the cloves, and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of the nuts. I didn't do the icing either (I don't think they need it!). I made these yesterday, and they're almost all gone!! I will definietly make thse again when I have "leftover" bananas. Thanks Robin!

These are like cookie-shaped banana cakes - yummy! I drizzled the icing on instead of dunking them, and used only 2 cups of icing sugar, reducing the other icing ingredients accordingly.... found this was still too much icing, so if you're really concerned about wasting your icing sugar, try cutting back even more than I did. Light and healthy!

Next time I would double the amount of nuts. I will make these again. They were very moist. I think I would like to "fiddle" with the icing a little bit. I shared some with friends and they liked them more than I did.

This is a very quick cookie to make! My kids devoured them! I put the icing in a Ziploc bag and the end off to drizzle over the top-I am going to use this recipe for when it is my son's turn to bring a treat to preschool and write each childs name on the cookie with the icing! =-) Thanks for a great recipe!

Soft, good, nice flavored cookies. Be sure to remember and sift the confectioners sugar as stated in recipe. I doubled the nuts and drizzled the icing onto the cookies as other reviewers suggested.

These were really good! I used cinnamon instead of cloves but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Mine came out pretty big - like muffin tops - but soft and really yummy! Next time I will probably use smaller spoonfuls, but there will definitely be many next times! Thanks for a great alternative to banana bread!

Great cookies. Light, and moist. Easy to make. I would suggest mashing banana's instead of slicing them.

I thought these were delicious! They were soft and cakey. I made the glaze less sweet by using more butter, less vanilla and a splash of rum extract. Some lemon juice would have worked, also but did not have it.
