Ingredients for Cream Cheese Glaze:

Directions for Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, allspice and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
In a large bowl, beat butter and 1 cup sugar at medium high speed with a mixer until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in banana, pineapple and pecans.
Cover and chill for about 3 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, stir together remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and 3 tablespoons cinnamon.
Using a scoop, drop 2 tablespoons dough into sugar mixture, turning to coat. Roll dough into a ball and place on prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. Flatten each ball slightly with a bottom of a glass.
Bake 14 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges. Let cookies cool completely on wire racks. Drizzle with cream cheese glaze and if desired, additional pecan pieces.
