One of my favorite summer treats is a banana split. Over the weekend I was in the kitchen getting ready to make up my classic chocolate chip cookie recipe for my daddy, and suddenly I decided to change it up. I used my classic chocolate chip cookie recipe and made some modifications to create the most delicious cookie ever…the banana split cookie. I even topped it with a cherry. This is my new go to easy cookie recipe that is perfect for any summer soiree.

Banana Split Cookies 
Ingredients 
2 sticks butter, at room temperature
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 large egg (I used Eggland\’s Best)
1 tsp. vanilla (I used Watkins Pure Vanilla)
2 3/4 c. flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
about 1/2 a box of JELL-O brand Instant Banana Cream Pudding
1 pkg. chocolate chunks coarsely chopped
1/2 c.  coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 c. dried bananas chopped
10 maraschino cherries cut into quarters
Directions 
• Preheat oven to 350° F
• Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, banana cream instant pudding mix and vanilla together for 3 minutes. 
• Add the egg and beat until combined. 
• In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. 
• Slowly combine the flour mixture with the egg mixture and mix on a low speed until combined. 
• Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in chocolate chunks, pecans, and dried bananas. 
• Scoop the dough into tablespoon-size mounds and place on a non-stick baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Top with a piece of cherry. 
• Bake until lightly browned at the edges, 7-12 minutes depending on your oven. 
• Allow cookies to cool for a minute or two on the baking sheet before you transfer to a wire cooling rack.

  8. Ridiculously creative! I love it!! I need to start thinking \”outside the box\” more when I bake… I rely so much on recipes somtimes, it gets a little boring.
