Today I’m making an easy Banana Cookies Recipe. These banana cookies are soft and have a rich banana flavor. They’re a great way to use up ripe bananas sitting on your counter. If you already have a Banana Bread recipe then it’s a good idea to add these Banana Cookies Recipe to your collection.
Ingredients for the cookie dough:

1 tsp – cinnamon (optional)
½ tsp – ground nutmeg (optional)
115 g – softened unsalted butter
2 – eggs

Step 1
In a large mixing bowl combine the ripe bananas and softened butter. Using a fork, mash everything together.
Step 2
Next, add the eggs and the sugar and mix again.
Step 3
After that, add the flour, baking powder, salt and, if you like the taste of cinnamon, add the cinnamon and ground nutmeg. Mix all the ingredients until well combined and the dough has a smooth and thick texture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 4
When the cookie dough has chilled, use a cookie scoop or a spoon to form the cookies on a baking pan covered with parchment paper, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies. Bake the banana cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Let them cool completely.
Step 5
In the meantime, to make the cookies look more festive, let’s make some simple sugar glaze. For the glaze we’ll need powdered sugar and lemon juice. Add the lemon juice to the powdered sugar and whisk until you get a thick runny consistency. Add some water, if needed. Transfer the sugar glaze to a piping bag or a Ziplock bag and tie the end.
Step 6
Decorate the Banana Cookies with the sugar glaze and, if you wish, with some colorful sugar sprinkles.
These Banana Cookies are soft and delicious treats that are fun to make with the kids.

Tips to make these Banana Cookies Recipe:
- Before making the cookie dough, make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature.
- Store the leftover cookies in an airtight container over the counter for up to 3 days.
- You can freeze the cookies without the frosting, by stacking them in an airtight container or freezer bag. You will want to place a sheet of waxed paper between the layers of cookies, so they don’t stick together.
