Banana Bread Cookie with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting

This is a banana bread flavor and texture cookie topped with sweet and creamy frosting, sprinkled with brown sugar.

Dare I say that this cookie is better than banana bread. With the banana flavor and topped with this brown sugar cream cheese frosting, its hard to compete. While I was creating this recipe my son asked me what I was making. I said, "banana bread in cookie form." I think I nailed it!

Testimonial- "Loved them!! They were so good!! Nice and fluffy!"
