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)
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure cookies do not stick and bake evenly.
- Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time to ensure they are fully incorporated, then add the vanilla extract and mashed ripe bananas. Mix these together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to prevent overworking the dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the white chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute them without deflating the mixture.
- Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookie edges turn golden brown. Once baked, remove the cookies and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare Banana Cream Topping: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Then gently fold in the instant banana pudding mix until it is fully combined and the topping is smooth.
- Decorate Cookies: After the cookies have cooled, pipe or spread a generous layer of the banana cream topping on each cookie. Optionally, garnish with fresh banana slices for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For best flavor, use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness.
- Ensure butter is softened (not melted) for proper creaming with sugars.
- Do not overmix the dough once dry ingredients are added to keep cookies tender.
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form for the best topping texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator due to the cream topping, and consume within 2-3 days.
- Substitute white chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips if preferred.
