Banana Pie Cookies

In need of a portable banana cream pie, I created this recipe. While the cookies didn't turn out as thick as I had hoped, they accomplished their task of turning a plate and fork dessert into something that can travel. The white chocolate chips are a good stand-in for the whipped cream. The vanilla wafers add a nice crunch, so don't crush them too much.

 

Ingredients

1/2 stick butter

1 small banana, mashed

1/3 cup sugar

1 egg

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

12 crumbled vanilla wafers

1/3 cup white chocolate chips

 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine flour and baking powder.

Cream butter and banana together until combine thoroughly. Mix in sugar. Beat in egg.

Add flour mixture.

Stir in crumbled wafers and white chocolate chips.

Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets. Bake until lightly golden for about 12 minutes.

Yields 1 dozen cookies.
