Made these for my friend’s brunch spread and they were the first thing to vanish. The pudding was so lovely! I didn’t even get to snag one for myself until I made another batch the next day, and it was totally worth it!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve got something to say about these mini banana cream cookie pies (are you surprised?).
See, in case you haven’t heard me blather on about my seriously unfortunate banana allergy, allow me to bring you up to speed. I’m allergic to bananas. There you go. But what’s worse is that I am therefore allergic to bananas foster, banana bread, banana splits and banana cream pies — all of which my brothers like to tell me are The Most Amazing Foods In The World. Seeing as I have no idea, and they all sound extra delicious because I can’t have them, I’m forced to believe they’re right. Harrumph.
So I can’t sit here and tell you that these mini banana cream cookie pies are delicious, that they taste like a heavenly pillow of sweet banana-y bliss, that the combination of a crispy sugar cookie crust, cool banana pudding, a slice of fresh banana and a dollop of whipped cream is undeniably scrumptious. No, I can’t tell you that.
But the empty plate that once held a bunch of these cookie pies can. Oh, and my brothers. BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME SO. #sadface
What I can tell you, though, is that these are stupidly easy to make (thanks to Pillsbury’s easy sugar cookie roll), that they make for a perfect holiday dessert that you can whip up in an afternoon and much like my mini apple pies, the toughest part is being able to not eat the whole batch once they’re made because they look so adorable and tasty. That is, unless you’re unallergic to bananas. Then by all means, be my guest. You can make another batch tomorrow of these or my banana chocolate chip muffins for everyone else.

Mini Banana Cream Cookie Pies
Ingredients
- 1 16.5-ounce roll refrigerated sugar cookies
- 1 3.4-ounce box banana cream pudding, prepared according to package directions and chilled
- 1 banana
- whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin. Divide sugar cookie dough into 24 even pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place dough in prepared muffin tin cups.*
- Bake dough until golden brown and set, about 15-18 minutes. Remove from oven and use the bottom of a shot glass to make depressions in each cup, if necessary; cool 10 minutes. Using a butter knife, carefully remove cookie cups from muffin tin. Transfer cookie cups to a cooling rack and cool completely.
- Spoon a generous teaspoon of chilled pudding into the center of each cookie cup. Slice banana into 24 slices and place on top of pudding. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.

My cookie dough was purchased at the new Meijer store that just opened, the date said by June 24, 2015 and it was soft,. I did make them round even though it was messy, but I did flatten them in the pan (& maybe this was wrong) because the middle of the cookies were all indented, and when I tried to remove them, the tops separated from the bottom. I could not use them as they were to fill them up with pudding. Wasted time and money. What did I do wrong or was it the dough?
I’m making these for a family reunion tomorrow. Was going with banana or lemon but since my target “market” tomorrow is doing something that the kids will go for…..my dh suggested to do chocolate since “every” kid recognizes chocolate! I have whipped cream for them to spray on their goodie!

Do you shape the cookie sups before bling or after?
I think like banana pudding, i would put the banana first against the cookie cup, then the pudding, then whip cream. less chance to turn brown from air and would not see. also, should you mash the cookie dough with shot glass bottom before to cook or does it mold into that form when cooking?
look delish and great for a party or anytime. tks
Hmmm… I’m thinking chocolate pudding, whipped cream, crumbled nilla wafers & mini chocolate chips on top…
these did not come out at all and I followed the directions perfectly. I made sure to grease my pan well but they would not come out of the pan. They were all ruined!!
I think I will be more careful next time to follow the directions on a recipe that was paid for by the sponsor. Now I’m stuck without a dessert for a dinner party in a few hours. 🙁
