Banana Cookie Recipe (my very favorite cookie!)
1 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1.5 cups mashed bananas (or a bit extra)
4 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup walnuts (skip if you want totally soft cookies)
Bake at 400 degrees 8-10 minutes
Caramel Frosting (Do not buy the canned frosting!)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 cups sifted confectioners sugar (you may not use all of this)
Melt butter, add brown sugar and cook over low heat for about 3 minutes. Stirring constantly. Add milk. Stir until comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (2-3 minutes). Add confectioners sugar. Mix well. Frost cookies quickly before frosting hardens.
