Banana Cookies

I did put them too close together on the baking sheet so they all merged. I ended up having to cut out 12 large cookie sizes from my big blobby mess :) They were a little doughy so I would probably not do again.


1/2 cup sugar
3oz butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup banana; mashed well
1 Egg beaten
1¼ cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


1) In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
2) Cream sugar, butter, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
3) Add egg and beat well. Stir in banana.
4) Slowly mix dry ingredients into wet. Chill 30 minutes in refrigerator.
5) Preheat oven to 400 F.
6) Drop teaspoon sized balls of dough two inches apart on greased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture; if desired.
7) Bake 8-10 minutes or until browned. Cool 2 minutes, then transfer to racks.
8) Decorate with icing if desired.
