Frosted Banana Cookies

Over the weekend Katie recommended that we have dinner at the Orchard House in Marsing.  She said, "they have the best banana cookies ever".  Well they didn't have any this day.  So I decided to make some today because they sounded so good.  So I googled and found this recipe from Land O Lakes.

Frosted Banana Cookies
3/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 medium (1 cup)ripe bananas, mashed
1 large Land O Lakes® Egg
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour (ADD MORE)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Frosting
2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter
3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Half & Half
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Grated orange zest, if desired
Heat oven to 350°F.
Combine 3/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.
Add bananas, egg, orange zest and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons brown sugar and half & half. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat. Add powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; beat until well mixed; cool slightly.
Frost cooled cookies. Garnish with grated orange zest, if desired. Let stand until frosting is set.

**I used lemon zest instead of orange, because that is what I had.
I added 1/4 c. more flour and I should have added more!!
