Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃); lightly coat cookie sheets with vegetable cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream ¾ 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, ½-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.
