This recipe is a tasty treat based on the New Orleans famous dessert. Bananas Foster Cookies are super easy to make and taste just like the southern classic.
We're lucky here in South Louisiana, as Bananas are imported through New Orleans (which is one of the reasons that Bananas Foster was created).
This means we 99% of the time have an abundance of bananas year round. We can make Bananas Foster Cookies any time, yay.

I like to use my stand mixer for everything I bake. I also used a baking sheet and large cookie scoop.

Once the cookies have been iced and they're cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.
Mel's kitchen notes
Decant the icing into a squeeze bottle to be able to get the pretty drizzle. Using a spoon works, but is not always as pretty. Or a piping bag.
