Chewy Banana Cinnamon Glazed Cookies



There are so many things you can do with over-ripe bananas! These cookies are one of my favorites. Who knew banana cookies were a thing, right? They taste incredible and are super moist and chewy on the inside. 


CHEWY BANANA CINNAMON GLAZED COOKIES
YIELD: 18 cookies | PREP TIME: 15 minutes | COOK TIME: 12 minutes | COOLING TIME: 5 minutes| TOTAL TIME: 32 minutes

Ingredients: 
      
COOKIES

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup butter, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cups brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ripe banana

GLAZE

1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 ½ tablespoons water
Pinch of cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the butter, sugars, egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add the flour mixture and mix until well combined. Lastly, mash the banana into the dough. The dough will become more like a very thick batter.

Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and then place them on your baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes then transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool for five minutes.

Begin making the glaze by combining the confectioners’ sugar, water, and cinnamon and mix until very smooth. Drizzle the glaze onto the cooled cookies.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze.
