Banoffee what?! Banana + toffee = banoffee. So banoffee pie is a thang…but why do what everyone else does? So I made banoffee cookies. Yesssssss. Dry banana pudding mix, banana extract, chunks of toffee and butterscotch chips make this cookie full of banana flavor with bites of toffee and butterscotch. Pudding cookies are the best….so soft and full of whatever pudding flavor you pick. Plus this cookie dough doesn’t require any chilling! These cookies are super easy to make and the recipe yields 27 cookies….enough to share with those you love. Or stash some in the freezer 😉
Cookie dough…..I swear if I even take a nibble, it starts something I can’t stop. The power cookie dough has over me!
Let’s bake!!
Banoffee Cookies
Print RecipeIngredients
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Baker's Extract)
- 1 teaspoon banana extract
- 1 (3.4 ounce) box Jell-O Banana Cream Instant Pudding & Pie Filling (just the dry mix)
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1-1/2 cups toffee bits (I used B. toffee that I chopped up)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350-degrees and line three cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment affixed, cream the butter on medium-high speed. Add the brown sugar and cream and sugar together until light and fluffy. At the eggs, one at a time, mixing each egg into the mixture completely before adding the second egg. Add the vanilla extract and banana extract. Add the entire box of dry pudding mix to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Change the mixer to low speed and add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until barely combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and fold in the butterscotch chips and toffee chunks.
Use a standard sized cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough balls onto prepared baking sheets. Leave enough room in between cookies to allow for spreading. Bake cookies, one cookie sheet at a time, in 350-degree oven for 12-13 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
Remove baked cookies from the oven and let set on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can use toffee baking bits, found in the baking aisle at the store next to the chocolate chips.
Of course I used my favorite toffee in these cookies! B. toffee is so rich and buttery….and those crunchy pecans on top. Mmmmm.
So tell me….
