I won a local "banana" recipe contest with this cookie.
Ingredients
- ½ cup shortening
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup mashed bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 3 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Step 2
Cream shortening; add brown sugar, beating well. Add eggs and banana; beat well.
Step 3
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add to creamed mixture; mix well. Stir in pecans.
Step 4
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart onto greased cookies sheets. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Dip half of cooled cookies into Powdered Sugar Icing.
Step 5
To Make Icing: Combine 3 cups confectioner's sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine, and 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add milk to yield desired consistency (you may need to add a little extra), beating until smooth.
