How to Make Frosted Banana Cookies

- 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.
