Banana Cream Pie Cookies

              Every one of us has a secret weapon. Some people have a cute smile, others have gorgeous shoes. Let's not forget about those people who can make a perfect strawberry daiquiri, they may just be my favorite. Although your guitar playing is impressive and may get you laid, nothing quite beats my "Banana Cream Pie Cookies". This dessert may just be the card up my sleeve when it comes to charming my boyfriend.I found this recipe awhile back and have been waiting to use it for when I  accidentally walk in front of him while he's playing a video game or some other tragedy. However, something magical happened, and I decided to be a good girlfriend and bake these "just because". That's ok, I'll quietly wait here for an applause or a jaw drop.
               Anyways, back to the main event. These tiny cookies pack a bigger punch than Muhammad Ali. So much banana flavor in such a little dessert. If you have anybody in your life that enjoys bananas as much as Elvis Presley or my boyfriend-you must make these! As always they require practically zero skill, and thanks to the genius who invented instant pudding, these cookies are extremely soft. You really can't go wrong with this recipe. As the ever-so-classy Gwen Stefani once said: "This sh__ is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S".

"Banana Cream Pie Cookies"

Ingredients:

• 1 c. unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 c. brown sugar

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 c. flour

Directions:  

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets
2. Using a mixer, beat together butter and both sugars until creamy. Add in pudding mix, eggs and vanilla
3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir in vanilla wafers and chocolate chips. 
5. Drop cookies onto sheets and lightly press flat (I used the bottom of a glass). 
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove when slightly golden brown
7. Let cool completely before storing

               There you have it, folks. This recipe is practically the "Cheater's Guide to Banana Cream Pie". Why spend hours on something when there is a more simply way to do it? And that's why I'm an American. I want to thank Two Peas & Their Pod for this brilliant recipe and for reminding me that I will never be a good housewife. I hope that you enjoy these cookies as much as my boyfriend. Then again, if it looks good, tastes good, and is blonde...the men are sure to love it.
