This frosting recipe makes a good "glaze" for gingerbread cookies, as other raters have stated. I was looking for a frosting that would stiffen up nicely so I changed it up slightly. This gingerbread, handsdown, is the best I've ever tasted. It turned out moist and absolutely delish.

I've made it twice already and even those who swear they hate gingerbread say that this is to die for. Fill a small saucepan with an inch of water and place a heat-safe bowl over the top of the pot, creating a double boiler. Place the chocolate chips in the top bowl, then bring the water to a boil to gently melt the chocolate chips. This is a classic banana bar recipe, but its distinction is with the browned butter frosting which I thought was a nice complement. Great taste, lovely frosting, but I prefer mixing up the batter using the traditional creaming method - cream the sugar and butter well, add the eggs and vanilla, and finally the bananas.
