Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Cookie Dough

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

Banana Cream Topping

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
• Fresh banana slices (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
2. Creaming Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This creates a smooth base for the cookie dough.
3. Adding Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated, then add the vanilla extract and mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients evenly.
4. Mixing Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make cookies tough.
5. Incorporating Chocolate Chips: Fold the white chocolate chips gently into the dough to distribute them throughout without breaking the chips or overworking the dough.
6. Shaping Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading during baking.
7. Baking: Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they firm up and cool evenly.
8. Preparing Banana Cream Topping: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Then fold in the instant banana pudding mix slowly until well combined, creating a smooth, creamy topping.
9. Applying Topping: Once the cookies are completely cooled, use a piping bag or a spatula to spread a generous layer of banana cream topping over each cookie to add richness and banana flavor.
10. Garnishing: Optionally, place a fresh banana slice on top of each cookie to enhance presentation and add fresh fruit flavor. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

• Use ripe bananas for optimal banana flavor and natural sweetness.
• Ensure butter is softened, not melted, for better creaming and texture.
• Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
• Allow cookies to cool completely before spreading banana cream topping to prevent melting.
• Fresh banana slices as garnish are optional but add a nice visual touch and freshness.
• Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator if not consuming immediately because of the cream topping.
