Ingredients
Cookies:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium banana)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk (or more as needed)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and mashed banana until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed.
- Drizzle or spread glaze over cooled cookies. Allow it to set before serving.
Notes
For extra texture, stir in chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the cookie batter.
Ensure bananas are fully ripe for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
To store, keep glazed cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
