Banana Cookie Ingredients
- Yellow cake mix – White cake mix will also work.
- Eggs – Large eggs.
- Banana – The riper the better! We used one, but you can use 2 for a stronger banana flavor.
- Optional toppings – Frosting & sprinkles. (This cream cheese frosting is perfection)
How do you make banana cookies? (step-by-step)
⭐ First, combine cake mix, eggs, and banana in a bowl and blend well with an electric mixer.
⭐ Then, spoon batter onto a prepared baking sheet and bake until risen and turning lightly golden browned on the edges.
⭐ Next, while cookies are browning, prepare your frosting.
⭐ Finally, apply icing and sprinkles.
Preparation
Can you make banana cookies ahead of time?
Absolutely! They can be made a few days ahead of time, or if you want to make them longer, stash your cookies in the freezer.
Is it okay if my dough is sticky?
Cake mix cookie dough tends to be on the sticky side, this it totally normal. I like to use a tablespoon sized cookie scoop to easily make evenly sized dough balls.
What brand of cake mix for banana cake mix cookies?
Any brand of mix will work. Don’t worry if the boxes are slightly different sizes, this recipe is very forgiving!
Storage and Leftovers
Can You Freeze Banana Cake Mix Cookies?
Yes, you can freeze these cookies. Allow them to cool completely, then store in an air tight, freezer safe container. Cookies can remain in the freezer for several months, after which time you run the risk of freezer burn and they will begin to deteriorate in texture and flavor.
To thaw, allow the cookies to come to room temperature and then enjoy!
How To Store Banana Cookies
The cookies should be stored in an air tight container and can remain at room temperature for about three days. Longer than that and you’ll want to store your chocolate cake mix cookies in the refrigerator or freezer.
Tips, tricks, and frequently asked questions
Do I need to grease my cookie sheet?
For best results, bake them on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper so you never have to worry about sticking.
What kind of frosting for easy banana cookies?
I highly suggest our cream cheese frosting recipe! This raspberry buttercream would also be delicious.
What to eat with banana cookies (serving suggestions)
Try making this banana cookie recipe after eating a delicious meal of steak tostadas, or chicken fried rice. Or go for an easy casserole like upside down pizza.

- Silicone baking mats – Nothing sticks to these! Whaaaa?! Like magic.
- Electric mixer – I love love love love love (x’s 100) my stand mixer. Really and truly. But my daily work horse is this handheld electric mixer.
