Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

1 3/4 cup unsifted flour
In bowl, beat eggs. Whisk in brown sugar and oil until thoroughly blended.
Add sour cream, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, orange juice, mashed banana, walnuts and flour mixing well, preferably by hand.
Pour into oiled 12"x4"x4" loaf pan. Bake in 375 degrees F oven for 50 minutes and until done. Cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Loosen edges and turn out to complete cooling on rack. Wrap in foil or waxed paper.

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Never knew about the sour cream!! I make a really good banana bread (nuts AND choc chips!) but will have to try this one, too. In honor/memory of Cookie's!
This restaurant is LONG GONE, but I agree, the banana bread was definitely something that people went to Cooky's for. It sat on their very simple but well thought out salad bar

My favorite part of Cookies dinner was the banana bread. I have missed that taste for years, sadly cookies is no longer but the banana bread recipe lives on. I made it for my family and they couldn't get enough, sadly they didn't because I do confess I ate most of it. This is a great recipe, I highly recommend it if you are looking for a moist delicious yummy treat : )
