Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl, then set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Add the mashed bananas and stir until smoothly combined.
  6. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and centers look set.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. For icing, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla once cookies have cooled.
