directions

  • Preheat oven 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Make the cookies: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vegetable oil, followed by vanilla and mashed banana.
  • Add flour mixture and stir until just incorporated.
  • Drop 1 1/2-inch balls (I do a heaping cookie scoop worth) and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned around the edges and set in the center.
  • Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  • Blend in vanilla and confectioners’ sugar until mixture is smooth and thick.
  • Add additional confectioners’ sugar if mixture seems runny.
  • Wrap cookies individually in plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
