These Harvest Banana Spice Cookies with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting are a riff on our popular Carrot Cake Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting recipe.  We traded the carrots for sweet and delicious bananas and our delicious Best Cream Cheese Frosting for our unique Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting.   We don’t want to brag but we think we have another winner here.  The cookie tastes just like banana cake and the frosting … mmm, mmmm, good. This is an amazing frosted cookie that will really hit the spot this fall.

How to Make the Cookies

Step 1: In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  Add the mashed bananas can continue mixing.  Mix in the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix well.  Add the flour and mix until combined.

Step 2: This is a wet dough so we used a spoon to drop approximately 2 oz. of dough onto the cookie sheet as shown above.
Step 3: Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until light brown around the edges.   Here is what the cookies look like just out of the oven – cakey, just like banana bread.
