These cookies have a soft cake-like texture and taste great. If you'd rather have them be a bit less cake-like, replace the self-raising flour with plain flour. The recipe is easily made vegan by replacing butter with any vegan fat-spread.

- Pre-heat the oven to 190 C / Gas 5. Prepare two trays with greaseproof paper coated with a thin layer of oil.
- In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar until most of the granules have dissolved into the butter. The colour will lighten and it should be fluffy.
- Beat in the bananas until the mixture is smooth. Add vanilla and cinnamon.
- Sift the flour and salt into the mixture then fold it into the mixture.
- Spoon heaped tablespoons onto the baking trays about 3.5cm (1.5 in) apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, sprinkle icing sugar over and serve.
