I love anything with peanut butter, so when I saw this recipe for soft banana cookies with a yummy peanut butter filling, I had to make them. Use a cookie scoop to keep them nicely rounded and all the same size. -Jessie Sarrazin, Livingston, Montana

Right out of the Martha Stewart September Living magazine. Couldn't wait to try these and they did not disappoint. Much easier then they sound. I myself used dark brown sugar is that is what I had and I misread the recipe using the entire teaspoon vanilla in the batter then adding the extra in the filling. Came out wonderful.

Time 1h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅔ cup vegetable shortening
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups milk
3 cups milk
9 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups vegetable shortening
1 ½ cups butter
2 ¼ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • To make cookies, beat 2/3 cup of vegetable shortening with 2 cups of sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy. Beat in eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Whisk together 4 cups of flour, the cocoa powder, and baking soda until thoroughly mixed, then beat the flour mixture into the vegetable shortening mixture in several additions, alternating with the milk. Beat dough just until smooth.
  • Drop dough by tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart, making the cookies as round as possible. Recipe should yield about 48 cookies.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning the cookies. Allow cookies to cool for several minutes on baking sheets before removing to finish cooling on racks.
  • To make the filling, pour 3 cups of milk into a large saucepan over low heat, and whisk in 9 tablespoons of flour until smooth. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, whisking constantly, until as thick and smooth as pudding, about 3 minutes. Place the thickened mixture into the refrigerator to cool, about 30 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening with the butter until thoroughly combined, then beat in 2 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Beat the cooled milk mixture into the butter mixture until smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Choose 2 cookies of the same size, and spread a thick layer of filling on the flat side of a cookie; top with remaining cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas add a natural sweetness and moisture to the whoopie pies, making them extra delicious. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or two.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy whoopie pie.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the mashed bananas: Be sure to mash the bananas thoroughly before adding them to the batter. This will help to distribute the banana flavor evenly throughout the whoopie pies.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the batter onto the baking sheets: This will help to ensure that the whoopie pies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set: Overbaking will dry out the whoopie pies.
  • Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them: This will help to prevent the filling from melting and making the whoopie pies messy.

Conclusion:

Banana whoopie pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and fluffy texture, sweet banana flavor, and creamy filling, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying dessert, give banana whoopie pies a try. You won't be disappointed!
