Recipe by: Healthy Cooking for Two
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; lightly coat cookie sheets with vegetable
cooking spray. In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup margarine and sugar; add the
egg whites, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mashed bananas. In a small bowl,
combine the flour and baking soda; add the the banana mixture, 1/2-cup at a
time, mixing well.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheets. Bake for 8 minutes, or
until just browned around the edges; remove to wire racks to cool. For the
frosting, in a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon margarine, milk and
brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium
and continue to boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; add the powdered
sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until smooth. It may be
necessary to adjust the milk or sugar to get the desired spreading
consistency. Spread a thin layer of frosting on each cookie. Let the icing
harden before storing the cookies. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B). Nutrition
