Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients (flours, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt cinnamon, nutmeg) in a large bowl and set aside.
- Cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium speed until light and fluffy, ~3-4 minutes.
- Add in mashed bananas, followed by the egg, egg yolk and vanilla until combined.
- Add in dry ingredients, gradually until ingredients are incorporated.
- Add in chocolate chips until combined.
- Using floured hands and a cookie scoop, measure out ~10-12 cookies for large cookies, or scoop 2 Tbsp. sized cookies (you should get ~22 cookies). The dough will be a bit sticky due to the bananas. The flour will help! Or you can just use the cookie scoop to scoop directly onto the sheet pan to avoid using flour.
- Place on prepared baking sheet & bake cookies for ~13-14 minutes for the large cookies, or ~8-10 minutes for the smaller cookies.
- Let cookies cool, then make the cream cheese frosting. Mix together the softened cream cheese and butter using a hand mixer. Then add in the powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Mix until smooth. Add more powdered sugar as desired.
- Frost cooled cookies, garnished with nuts and ground cinnamon if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Sticky dough: The reason this cookie dough is sticky is because of the bananas. I've found a light dusting of flour on my hands when scooping and rolling the dough solves the issue. However, chilling the dough (30-60 min) can also help sticky dough become more manageable to work with.
- Storage: Cookies will last in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. For freezing, I recommend cooling them and freezing without the cream cheese. Unfrosted cookies will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
