Ingredients

Servings

• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• 2 Ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• 1 box Instant vanilla pudding mix
• ¹⁄₄ cup Milk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar
• Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the egg, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth.
8. Once the cookies have cooled, spread a spoonful of the vanilla pudding mixture onto the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
9. Optional: Roll the edges of the cookies in powdered sugar or sprinkles for added decoration.
10. Allow the cookies to rest for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
