Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
  • 1 box 3.4 oz instant banana pudding mix
  • 1 3/4 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 12 maraschino cherries for garnish

Instructions
 

Cookie Preparation

  • Set your oven’s temperature to 375°F (190°C) to begin. In a medium mixing basin, combine the salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour. The softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar should be well combined in a different, larger basin.
  • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly after adding them. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until the dough forms.
  • Now, fold in the mashed bananas, crushed vanilla wafers, and chopped walnuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed in the cookie dough.

Banana Pudding Filling

  • Prepare the banana pudding filling in a separate bowl by whisking together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. Once thickened, gently fold in the whipped cream until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.

Assembling The Sandwich

  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading. Flatten the dough slightly with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown around the edges. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, take one cookie and spread a generous amount of banana pudding filling on the flat side. Top it with another cookie to create a delicious sandwich.
