Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces (1 ½ packages) cream cheese, (room temperature)
  • ½ cup (62.5 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1 large banana, (mashed)
  • 2 ¾ cups (344 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, (softened)
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, (packed)
  • 1 large egg, (room temperature)

Method
 

  1. Line a plate with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Mix cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and mashed banana. In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and mashed banana until smooth. This makes about 2 cups of filling.
  3. Drop cream cheese scoops onto plate. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop 20 even portions of the cream cheese mixture onto the lined plate. Place in the freezer and chill for 1 hour, or until solid.
  4. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Notes

- For the creamiest filling, ensure your cream cheese is completely at room temperature before mixing. - Do not overmix the cookie dough once the flour is added; this can lead to tough cookies. Mix until just combined.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature or gently warm for a fresh-baked feel.
