 Cookie
 
 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
 1 cup sugar
 1 medium (1/2 cup) ripe banana, sliced
 1 egg
 1 teaspoon vanilla
 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
 ¼ teaspoon salt
 ½ cup chopped pecans
 
 Filling
 
 3 cups powdered sugar
 ¼ cup butter or margarine, softened
 1 teaspoon vanilla
 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
 
 Directions
 
 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
 
 Combine butter, sugar, and banana in large bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth. Add egg and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour and salt; continue beating until well mixed. Stir in pecans by hand.
 
 Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto greased cookie sheets. Flatten balls to ¼-inch thickness with buttered bottom of glass dipped in flour.
 
 Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets immediately; cool completely.
 
 Combine all filling ingredients except milk in small bowl. Beat a medium speed, gradually adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Spread 2 teaspoons filling on bottoms of half of cooled cookies. Top with remaining cookies, bottom-side against filling.
