1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup Walnuts or Pecans, chopped, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet.
Stir together flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, soda, cloves and nuts and set aside.
In a mixer bowl beat the butter and sugar for 30 seconds. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat well and add alternately dry ingredients. Add bananas one at a time. Beat well after each addition.
Drop from a teaspoon 2 inches apart onto a well-greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet immediately and cool on a wire rack.

For Frosting, combine powdered sugar, mashed banana, butter and vanilla. If necessary, add additional powdered sugar to make a spreading consistency. Frost completely cooled cookies.

"I love banana bread so these cookies sounded good. They were nice and soft with great flavor. The frosting was OK but next time I think I will try a cream cheese frosting and add a mashed banana to that. Not sure how that will work but I suppose I will have to add a little more powdered sugar than what the recipe calls for."
