Ingredients

Scale

For the Banana Bread Cookies

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¾ cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 small bananas)

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

For the Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tablespoon milk

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

  • flour

  • baking soda

  • salt

  • cinnamon

Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

4. Add the Bananas

Stir in the mashed ripe bananas until evenly incorporated into the mixture.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Mix just until combined — avoid overmixing.

Fold in chopped walnuts if using.

6. Scoop the Dough

Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze

  1. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.

  2. Gradually mix in powdered sugar.

  3. Add milk and vanilla extract.

  4. Beat until the glaze becomes smooth and drizzle-friendly.

9. Glaze the Cookies

Once cookies are completely cooled, drizzle or spread the cream cheese glaze over each cookie.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum flavor and sweetness.

  • Do not overbake — these cookies should stay soft and cake-like.

  • Chill the dough for 15–20 minutes if cookies spread too much.

  • Toast walnuts beforehand for deeper flavor.

  • Let cookies cool fully before glazing to prevent melting.
