Easy Banana Pudding Cookie Cups
Description
This recipe starts by dividing refrigerated sugar cookie dough into small balls and baking them in a mini muffin pan to form sturdy cups. After baking, the centers are gently pressed down to create a hollow for the filling. The filling is made by mixing instant banana pudding mix with milk and folding in Cool Whip for a light, creamy texture.
The banana cream is piped into each cooled cookie cup and garnished with banana slices, resulting in a combination of sweet cookie, smooth vanilla-banana pudding, and fresh fruit. This layered dessert has a classic banana pudding flavor presented in a convenient, handheld format.
The cookie cups should be filled after cooling to maintain their shape and crispness. Serving immediately preserves the best texture contrast between the cookie and filling.
Ingredients
- 16 ounce sugar cookie dough refrigerated, package
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 .4-ounce box banana pudding mix instant, flavor
- 1 ounce tub Cool Whip
- 2 banana sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F. Spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Divide the sugar cookie dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Place the dough balls into the wells of the mini muffin pan. Bake at 325F for 11-13 minutes until set.
- Use a mini tart shaper or the rounded end of a wooden spoon to press the middle of each cookie down to form a cup. Set the cookies aside to cool to room temperature in the pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the milk and instant banana pudding mix. Add the Cool Whip a little at a time, mixing well between each addition. Scoop the banana cream into a zip top bag and cut off one corner to make a piping bag.
- Use a butter knife to remove the cookie cups from the pan. Pipe the cream into the center of each room temperature cookie cup.
- Top each cookie cup with a slice of banana. Serve immediately.
