Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir mashed banana, sour cream, and vanilla together in another bowl.
- Cream margarine and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs. Mix in banana-sour cream mixture until incorporated. Add dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in nuts.
- Drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet; cookies do not expand much in the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven, checking occasionally, until bottoms are light golden brown and cookies are set but still a tad soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cookies to a rack to cool.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare frosting: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar and reduce heat to low. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1/4 cup milk and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Gradually stir in powdered sugar until frosting is desired consistency. If frosting hardens while working, stir in a little bit of milk.
- Spread frosting on cooled cookies.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
- Creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy is essential for a chewy cookie. Make sure to beat the mixture for at least 2 minutes on high speed.
- Adding a little bit of baking soda to the cookie dough will help them rise and become fluffy.
- Chilling the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
