I’m a sucker for a good, thick slice of banana bread but sometimes the whole production of making a loaf sounds like a lot of work and time. That’s where banana bread cookies come into play. Hello perfect hand held deliciousness that’s enjoyed for either breakfast or dessert, no judgement here! These thick, soft, chocolate studded cookies are full of banana flavor and are light and fluffy! If you can’t get enough of banana baked goods, you’ll also want to check out my Banana Chocolate Chip Bars and Strawberry Banana Muffins for more irresistible treats! The cream cheese frosting and walnuts on top make these extra special too. It’s the best of both worlds…a cookie and banana bread! I seriously cannot wait for you to try them! You can scroll down to the recipe card for the full list of ingredients and measurements.
Over Ripe bananas: You’ll want your bananas ripe enough for the best results, look for the brown spotty bananas. (No green on the peel). Freckled bananas = banana bread cookie time! Cinnamon and Nutmeg: I love adding in these warming spices to make these cookies ultra cozy! Butter: Just like all of my other cookie recipes, I use cold, unsalted butter. Chocolate chips: feel free to use chocolate chunks, mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet, dark chocolate, etc. Cream Cheese: You’ll need softened cream cheese to make the frosting. Chopped walnuts: I love adding walnuts on top for a finishing look and it adds a nice crunch. Other ingredients needed: flour, cake flour, salt, vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, powdered sugar, brown sugar, eggs.
