Soft, chewy banana bread cookies that taste just like a loaf of homemade banana bread!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter flavored shortening
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 medium banana, peeled and mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- glaze:
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make the cookies: Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Beat shortening and white sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in banana, eggs, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined; batter will be sticky. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven, switching racks halfway through, until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the cookies are baking, make the glaze: Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined. Add more milk as needed to attain a drizzling consistency.
- Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to wire racks. Drizzle glaze over warm cookies, then let cool for 25 minutes before serving.
