Banana Bread Cookies<\/p><\/div>\n

It seems to be that time of year where every couple of weeks there are two or three really sad-looking bananas left on the counter. I often peel, bag and freeze them for future use, but since I’d done that just a week ago, I decided I needed another solution for the ones left on the counter.<\/p>\n

My husband and I both love banana bread, but I was itching for something a little different, something that didn’t need to be sliced and that wouldn’t leave crumbs everywhere. So I settled on a recipe from allrecipes.com for Banana\u00a0Cake Cookies<\/a>. The recipe even includes a frosting, but I had some ready-made cookie frosting on hand, so I used that. If you want the scratch-made frosting follow the link.<\/p>\n

Now for some reason by the time I got around to taking the picture, after I had put the cookies in a Tupperware to keep them away from our doggie, the frosting started to melt off even though it was completely solid when I put the cookies in the container. They still tasted as good, but weren’t quite as pretty, sorry.<\/p>\n

Maybe I’ll do something different in terms of the frosting, or just dust with\u00a0icing sugar next time, which will be soon\u00a0since there’s a couple more bananas that have already turned brown.<\/p>\n

Here’s my version of the recipe, with very few modifications.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup butter
\n1 cup packed brown sugar
\n2 eggs
\n1 cup mashed bananas (about three ripe bananas)
\n2 cups all-purpose flour
\n2 teaspoons baking powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon baking soda
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 teaspoon ground cloves
\n1\/2 cup chopped pecans<\/p>\n

Directions: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 350F.<\/p>\n

In a bowl, mix butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add eggs and banana and mix until well combined.<\/p>\n

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cloves then add to wet mixture and beat well.<\/p>\n

Add\u00a0pecans and stir until just combined. Place by heaping tablespoonful on parchment-lined baking sheets, about two inches apart.<\/p>\n

Bake for 12 minutes and then cool on rack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
