How to cook deliciously - Grandma's Banana Cookies

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.

2. Stage

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.

3. Stage

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.

4. Stage

Drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet; cookies do not expand much in the oven.

5. Stage

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.

6. Stage

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.

7. Stage

Stir in 1/4 cup milk and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.

8. Stage

Gradually stir in powdered sugar until frosting is desired consistency. If frosting hardens while working, stir in a little bit of milk.

9. Stage

Spread frosting on cooled cookies.
