Going Bananas

Have you ever thought of combining stuff you enjoy eating?  Sweet Banana Mama!

The picture doesn't show much details.  This is a sugar cookie cup filled with banana cream pudding topped with fresh bananas.  Finger licking good!

For the pudding, I purchased a box of instant pudding mix.  Add 2 cups of cold milk and mix for about 2 minutes.  Done.

For the cookie dough:  if you prefer the easy way, you can purchase already prepared dough and just bake.

...if you prefer to make it, here's my recipe (makes about a dozen, depending on size):

3/4 stick butter

1 cup sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 large egg

1/4 c milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 3/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

Soften the butter. Combine the sugar and salt and add to the butter.  Mix on low until well combined.  Then add your liquids, still mixing on low, until all liquid is absorbed.  Finally add flour and baking powder.  Let the dought rest covered in plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes.  To bake use a muffin pan, 1/2 filled or about 2 oz with the dough.  This bakes fast 10-15 minutes at 375 degrees.

Once out of oven, I dipped a wooden spoon handle in sugar and made a hole in the cookie turning the spoon inside the cookie.  Overfill the cup with pudding, add fresh bananas and whipped cream.

Bananoso!
