Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Mix in the mashed banana, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, chopped maraschino cherries, and chopped walnuts (if using) using a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone, but they will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle each cookie with fudge sauce and sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles for the perfect banana split sundae touch.
Serve and enjoy your Banana Split Sundae Cookies!
