Description
Delicious cookies that combine the flavors of classic banana bread with a creamy glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; don’t overmix!
- If you’re using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese glaze by beating the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Once cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously on top of each cookie.
