How to Make Frosted Banana Cookies

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl cream butter and brown sugar, beat until creamy. Add bananas, egg, sour cream and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed; add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, beat until well mixed.
Drop by teaspoonfuls, 2" apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.
For the frosting, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and half & half. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil, about a minute or 2. Remove from heat; add powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon; beat until mixed. Cool slightly. Frost cookies. Let stand until frosting is set.
