Cookies
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 16.5 ounce spice cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp. flour
Glaze
- 2 c. powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. warm water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together mashed bananas, cake mix, eggs, and flour until smooth. Dough will be very soft.
- Scoop dough with a medium disher or heaping tablespoon onto baking sheets lined with silicone mats or parchment paper. Space cookies at least 1 1/2″ apart.
- Bake in preheated oven for 13 minutes or until just starting to brown around the edges. Remove and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before carefully transferring cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When cookies are cooled, you can prepare the glaze. (It firms up quickly, so don’t make it until you are ready to use it.) Vigorously stir together sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and water until glaze is spreadable. (You can add additional sugar or water about 1 tsp. at a time if you find the glaze to be too thick or thin.)
- Use a silicone brush to lightly brush about 2 tsp. glaze over the top of each cookie. If you do not have a brush, you can drop glaze on top of each cookie and spread with the back of a spoon. (I do this step with wax paper under the wire rack to make cleanup easy.)
- Allow cookies to stand for 30-60 minutes to allow glaze to harden. To store, place parchment paper between stacked cookies to avoid sticking. Best eaten within 2-3 days.
