Banana Cookies Recipe (Cake-Like)
These soft Banana Cookies are cake-like cookies made using overripe bananas and other basic cookie ingredients. Here is how to make them.
Servings: 15 pieces
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup mashed bananas
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground clove
- 1 cup chopped pecan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Whisk butter and sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a handheld wire whisk, an electric hand blender, or a stand mixer.
- Add mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.
- Add all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves to the bowl and mix until combined. I use a silicone spatula at this stage to mix the ingredients.
- Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Using an ice cream scoop, drop the batter on the baking sheet, keeping a distance of 2 inches between each.
- Tip - To make round cookies, gently shape the batter in between your palms.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes until the cookies are nicely browned.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes
You can use pumpkin pie mix instead of the ground spices I used in the recipe.
