Banana Cookies

I made these cookies for my first new mommy's get together today. I found the recipe somewhere on the blogosphere between 2 and 5 AM when Sophie didn't feel like sleeping. So Sophie and I had cookies and milk for breakfast (well...I had cookies and she had milk). The word 'banana' in the title makes it count as breakfast, right? They were quite healthy tasting...until I piled on the frosting. Enjoy!

Banana Cookies
3/4 c. butter
1 egg
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 mashed bananas
3/4 c. Brown sugar
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Soda
2 c. flour

Frosting
6 TBL. Brown sugar
4 TBL. Evaporated milk
4 TBL. Butter
1 tsp. vanilla
Powdered Sugar

Combine the wet ingredients in a mixer then combine dry ingredients in a second bowl and add to wet mixture. After all ingredients are mixed, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. For the frosting, add ingredients to a small pan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and wisk in 1 tsp of vanilla and enough powdered sugar to make a good frosting.

Happy Baking!
