Banana Cake Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Cream shortening; add brown sugar, beating well. Add eggs and banana; beat well.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add to creamed mixture; mix well. Stir in pecans.
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart onto greased cookies sheets. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Dip half of cooled cookies into Powdered Sugar Icing.
• To Make Icing: Combine 3 cups confectioner's sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine, and 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add milk to yield desired consistency (you may need to add a little extra), beating until smooth.

Steps:

• Oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray. In large bowl mash banana. Add egg, oil, nutmeg and half the dry cake mix to the bowl and beat on medium speed until well blended. Stir in remaining dry cake mix with wooden spoon just until combined and moistened. Stir in the chopped nuts if using. Drop by teaspoonfuls on cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 13 minutes until the center is just barely set when lightly touched with your fingertip and edges are firm. Remove from the oven, allow cookies to cool for one minute then transfer to wire racks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl cream the shortening and the sugar together. Beat in the eggs, vanilla and lemon extract. Beat in the bananas and the nuts. Gradually add the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly colored. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Stir flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl, set aside.
• Beat applesauce, egg whites, and sugars with a mixer.
• Mix in mushed banana and vanilla.
• Slowly add flour mixture to mixer.
• Add chocolate chips.
• Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet (I made 3 dozen small).
• Bake for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, place 1/2 cup of the dry cake mix; set aside.
• In medium bowl, stir together cookie mix, remaining 1/2 cup cake mix, 1/2 cup butter and the egg until soft dough forms. Shape dough into 20 (1 1/2-inch) balls. Roll in reserved cake mix, coating completely. On ungreased cookie sheet, place balls 2 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or just until set. (Watch closely to prevent cookies from getting too crispy and overbaked.) Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, 6 tablespoons butter, the vanilla and dry pudding mix with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until frosting is light and fluffy.
• For each sandwich cookie, spread 1 1/2 rounded teaspoons frosting on bottom of 1 cookie. Top with second cookie, bottom side down; gently press together. Roll edges of cookies in chocolate chips.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat butter or margarine with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add one cup of the flour, the sugar, eggs, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, soda, and cloves. Beat until thoroughly combined.
• Stir in the remaining flour. Beat in bananas and nuts. Drop by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool cookies on a rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Grease cookie sheet.
• In a large bowl, beat 1 1/4 cup sugar, shortening and vanilla until fluffy.
• Beat in eggs and then bananas.
• Combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
• Beat into sugar mixture.
• Chill 30 minutes.
• Drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheet.
• Mix together remaining sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over cookies.
• Bake 8-10 minutes or lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir mashed banana, sour cream, and vanilla together in another bowl.
• Cream margarine and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs. Mix in banana-sour cream mixture until incorporated. Add dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in nuts.
• Drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet; cookies do not expand much in the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven, checking occasionally, until bottoms are light golden brown and cookies are set but still a tad soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cookies to a rack to cool.
• While the cookies are cooling, prepare frosting: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar and reduce heat to low. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir in 1/4 cup milk and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Gradually stir in powdered sugar until frosting is desired consistency. If frosting hardens while working, stir in a little bit of milk.
• Spread frosting on cooled cookies.
