For the Cookies

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch Can be omitted if necessary.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Acts as a leavening agent.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness.

  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening Butter can substitute for a richer flavor.
  • 2 medium mashed bananas Ensure they are overly ripe.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1-minute oats, bread flour, baking powder, cornstarch, salt, and ground cinnamon; whisk until well mixed.
  3. In a stand mixer, cream together light brown sugar and vegetable shortening for about 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually add in the mashed bananas, light corn syrup, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  5. Gently incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten them somewhat.
  7. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes until soft in the center and lightly golden on the edges.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Blend cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream.
  10. Pipe or spread frosting onto the flat side of half the cooled cookies, and sandwich with the remaining cookies.
