How to Make Banana Drop Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; mix well.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the cookie dough.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
