I feel like you’re either a banana lover or you’re not. No gray area on this one. OK…maybe there’s a little gray area…let me explain…
I fondly avoid banana as a fruit, but in a baked good, I’m all in.
But NOT banana flavored candy. Ack. But totally in a smoothie.
It makes no sense, but it does.
Anyhow, today we’re taking banana flavored pudding and throwing it in a cookie. So a negative and a positive makes a positive in my math.
What? Who knew bananas were so confusing?
Anyhow Imperial Sugar asked me to whip up some Banana Pie Cookies. And I did.
They’re soft, packed with banana flavor, and topped with a creamy frosting that is perfectly vanilla and pairs beautifully with the banana! The pudding in the cookie gives it a ultra-moist texture that I know you will love. Two favorite desserts packed into one place!

Can you use mashed bananas instead of banana pudding?
That wouldn’t be a good switch out. If you didn’t want to use the banana pudding, you could omit it and add in 1/4 cup mashed banana for the egg. They won’t have the same flavor or texture as mine, but they should work!
Gotcha! Thank you for the response. I will follow the instructions and use my bananas for another recipe of yours. Cheers!
I made these for a cookie competition at work – and won! 🙂
The coworkers are always requesting them now, I make these like once a week. lol I also made them for my mom for mother’s day!
Only thing I change is a little less sugar in the frosting to keep it from being overly sweet.
I love this!! Congrats!
I have baked a lot of cookies over the years, but have got to say, these are my new favorite! The frosting especially is so addictive! I made some for coworkers and friends and they all raved about them too.
I did have a question…I would like to try to make these for my husband, but he doesn’t like banana anything. Could i substitute the instant banana pudding for other instant puddings, like vanilla or butterscotch?
Yes to everything banana flavored! These cookies are insanelyyyy delicious!
No banana Laffy Taffy? You have lost your dang mind. But I love these gorgeous cookies 🙂
These cookies are adorable!
