- In a bowl, mix the banana and the baking soda, leave for 2 minutes before mixing into the butter/sugar mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, salt and spices together. Add to the banana mixture, mix until just combined, don’t overwork the mixture.
- Fold in the pecans and chopped glace pineapple into the dough. Using an ice cream scoop, drop scoops well spaced out on the parchment-lined trays. Bake for 11-13 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting the cookies.
- While the cookies cool, make the frosting. In a stand mixer, beat the butter until soft, add in the cream cheese and beat again until smooth. Gradually add in the icing sugar and beating until it has all been added in. Either scoop into a piping bag and pipe onto the cool cookies or using a palette knife spread the frosting over the whole cookie.
