I won a local banana recipe contest with this cookie. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup mashed bananas |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
3 cups sifted confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2. Cream shortening; add brown sugar, beating well. Add eggs and banana; beat well.
3. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add to creamed mixture; mix well. Stir in pecans.
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.
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.
