- 2 Egg
- 1 cup Butter
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup White sugar

Instructions
Cookie
- First brown the butter in a skillet for about 6 mins or till it starts foaming a bit at the top and shortly after turns a nice brownish-tan. Transfer into a heat resistant bowl and let the butter cool down back to solid state.
- In the same skillet used to brown the butter, reduce 3 mashed bananas. Stir occasionally and let simmer until the liquid from the bananas has reduced, and the banana mash is slightly caramelized. Set aside and let cool
- Once the browned butter is solid, mix together the butter, sugar and evaporated milk until it's a creamy consistency
- Add the eggs, honey, reduces bananas, and cinnamon to the butter mixture and whisk it until everything is evenly incorporated
- Mix together flour, salt, and baking soda
- Add the dry flour mixture into the butter mixture, and fold them together until everything is incorporated
- Fold in walnuts (optional)
- Rest dough in fridge for 12 hours
- Place generous spoonful of dough onto baking sheet
- Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 12-15 minutes
- Cool cookies for about 10 minutes (or not if your hungry a** can't wait 🤣😭)
Frosting
- Cream together softened butter and cream cheese
- Add in vanilla extract
- Whisk in powdered sugar
- Mix in evaporated milk
- Place in fridge until ready for use
Garnish and Glaze (For the folks that like to be extra)
- Cut 1/2 inch slices of banana
- Pan fry banana in buttered skillet for about 4 minutes on each side or until each side is brown and slightly crisped
- In the same skillet used to fry the bananas, deglaze the skillet with evaporated milk on low heat; add a few tbsps of evaporated milk at a time until you get a brown colored thin glaze consistency
