Makes about 16 Cookies
1. Begin by cutting the butter into cubes. Next, In a heavy saucepan heat butter over Medium heat to begin the browning process. Stir constantly until the butter begins to turn into a golden brown color. It will be foamy and that is ok. Once the butter has reached that beautiful golden brown color remove from heat and place into a heat safe bowl to cool.
2. While your brown butter cools prepare the crumble by melting the butter and once its cooled a little bit add the flour, sugars, cinnamon and salt and stir until combined well. Once thats mixed well refrigerate until you make the cookie dough.
3. Sift your dry ingredients.
4. Preheat the oven to 350'F
5. In a large bowl combine your brown butter, mashed bananas, eggs, sugars and vanilla and whisk until combined.
6. Add your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
7. Add half of your crumble mixture into the batter and fold until combined. Do not over mix.
8. Add more of the crumble and fold gently again but do not over mix.
9. Cookies need to be baked right away the dough does not store well.
10. Scoop your cookie dough with an ice cream scoop 6 at a time onto a large cookie sheet making sure thats there's crumble on the top parts of your cookie so that you have that beautiful coffee cake effect.
11. Bake for 10 minutes.
12. Allow cookies to cool completely.
13. While your cookies are cooling make the cream cheese glaze by adding all of the cream cheese glaze ingredients in a bowl and beating with a hand mixer on low speed increasing your speed to medium as the ingredients begin to incorporate.
14. Once the glaze is incorporated well drizzle on top of your cookies.

TIPS

1. This cookie dough cannot be made in advanced it does not store well.
2. Cookies will look a little undone once taken out they will finish baking in the baking sheet out of the oven. Allow them to cool completely to set.
3. Cookies can be refrigerated up to 5 days. Take out the desired amount and microwave in 30 second intervals until you bring the cookie back to room temp.
