Ingredients
40 servings
- •4 cups all-purpose flour
- •2 teaspoons baking powder
- •1 teaspoon salt
- •0.5 cup sour cream
- •1 teaspoon baking soda
- •1 cup mashed ripe banana
- •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- •1 cup margarine
- •1 cup white sugar
- •2 large eggs
- •1 cup chopped walnuts
- •0.5 cup unsalted butter
- •1 cup brown sugar
- •0.25 cup milk, or more as needed
- •2.5 cups powdered sugar, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir baking soda into sour cream in a separate large bowl; add mashed banana and vanilla.
- Cream margarine and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs. Mix in banana-sour cream mixture until incorporated. Add dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in nuts.
- Drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet; cookies do not expand much in the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven, checking occasionally, until bottoms are light golden brown and cookies are set but still a tad soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cookies to a rack to cool.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare frosting: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar and reduce heat to low. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1/4 cup milk and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Gradually stir in powdered sugar until frosting is desired consistency. If frosting hardens while working, stir in a little bit of milk.
- Spread frosting on cooled cookies.
