Baking My Way: Caramel Frosted Banana Drops


I LOVE THESE COOKIES!

They are most deafeningly a 5 and are now one of my favorites! The icing is pretty much the Sucre a Creme I posted about a little while ago and wow, so good!! I could just keep bragging on how much I like these cookies but I'll just get to the recipe and you can try them for yourself.


Cookies:
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup mashed banana
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Frosting:
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 3 tablespoons milk

Heat oven to 350.

Cookies:
Combine brown sugar, butter; beat until light and fluffy. Add bananas and vanilla; blend well. Add flour and salt; mix well. Stir in nuts.

Drop dough by round tablespoon fulls about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 9-14 minutes.

Frosting:
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine brown sugar and butter. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Cool slightly. Stir in powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk for desired spreading constancy. Frost cooled cookies.

    I wish I would have seen this recipe a little earlier. I would have made these instead of banana bread with my over-ripe bananas. I guess I will have to try this recipe next time!

    I am your newest follower. I have this recipe on my blog also. I grew up with these cookies that are a family favorite. If I make them, they don't last long because I can't stop eating them. So, so delicious.
