Buttery crunch, sticky caramel, ripe bananas – all hugged by fluffy whipped cream.
Sweet heaven, right?!

Ingredients:

• Cookie Dough
• 225g unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 ¼ cup sugar (250 grams)
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (320 grams)
• Dolce la lache
• Whipped cream – prepared or:
• 250g cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• ¼ teaspoon instant coffee for decoration

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cookie dough: Beat the butter and sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg and yolk, mixing until combined. Stir in vanilla, baking powder, and salt, then add flour until combined.
2. Prepare to bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop dough balls using an ice cream scoop.
4. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are browned.
5. Remove cookies from oven and reduce temperature to 300 degrees.
6. While oven temperature changes, press the center of the cookies with the bottom of a glass
7. Return to the oven and bake for 5-8 minutes until the cookie is set.
8. Allow to cool completely.
9. Spread a cookie scoop with Dolce La Lache, and arrange banana slices.
10. Beat cream and sugar at high speed until stiff peaks form.
11. Garnish each cookie with whipped cream and a little instant coffee if desired. (I like to add the coffee twist because it tempers the sweetness and gives the cookie a more mature flavor)
