Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Mix in egg, vanilla, and mashed banana. The mixture may look slightly separated at this stage, which is normal.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until set and soft. Cool completely on a wire rack.

- Spread frosting on the flat side of half the cookies and top with the remaining cookies to form sandwich cookies.
