Hummingbird cake is one of my favorite cake flavors. I love the banana and pineapple flavors. Add in coconut and pecans and a thick layer of fluffy cream cheese frosting and I’m in love! Hummingbird cake gets its name from Jamaica whose national bird is the scissors-tail hummingbird and became popular in the South in the 70’s.
Of course, I don’t usually have a reason to make an entire cake. I’ve made hummingbird muffins before and those were the perfect size for a sweet treat. I was thinking about the muffins the other day and thought hummingbird cookies would also be pretty yummy!
These Hummingbird Cookies have an almost muffin/cake-like texture to them. I drizzled them with some powdered sugar icing. These cookies were a nice sweet bite without being too much. I love these cookies for summertime. They would be great for serving at parties or showers for a dessert spread where you want smaller bites and more options.
