Ingredients

Serves:  Update

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
    • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
    • 1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup for rolling
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 bananas, ripe but firm
    • 1 quart of good quality chocolate chip ice cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy – about 8 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until thoroughly combined. Reduce mixer to low, slowly add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.

Using a small ice cream scoop (1 3/4 inch), scoop dough into 1-1/2 inch balls and roll in remaining 1/4 cup sugar to coat evenly and place on baking sheet about 2-inches apart. Gently press the cookies with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern (if tines stick, dip fork in cup of warm water in between each cookie). Transfer baking sheets to oven and bake 12–15 minutes, or until just golden. Transfer to cooking racks and let cool completely before making sandwiches.

Slice bananas into 1/8-inch thick slices and fan slices on bottom sides of 12 cookies. Place 1 small scoop of chocolate chip ice cream on top of the banana slices and top with remaining cookie. Serve immediately or wrap cookies individually in plastic and freeze.

    Can't eat like this all the time.. but Mmm I found I was doing all the cooking in my house so,i bought my husband a funny beginners cookbook.. I can't tell you the name of it cause it's not PC, but google "whipped & Beaten Culinary works" to find it

    OMG! That looks awesome! But I think I'll pass! Trying the healthy route for now - http://www.fitnessandnutritionguide.com

    I will be making this this summer for sure! I probably won't do chocolate chip ice cream, though. Maybe cookies & cream or just plain vanilla. Looks soooo yummy!

    Don't eat this you'll get fat.

    jude7706 2010-05-14 15:22:41

    A lot of damage. But you could lessen the damage by using reduced fat peanut butter, vanilla frozen yogurt, and don't roll the cookies in sugar...that should save SOME calories and fat!

    No really. Youll die of diabeetus

    Looks great to me! Anything to do with cookies and ice cream I'm all for. I'll have to see if we have the makings and try it out myself.

    eodkhoutz 2010-04-23 13:40:35

    just buy low-fat cookies and save 90% of the mess/ingredients/time involved. this is not going to be that much healthier by baking the cookies yourself.

    mojo782 2010-05-13 23:38:59

    wow a lot of negativity. havent made it but it looks good. you cant eat all 12 servings everyday but you can pretty much eat anything in moderation. indulge, at least you r making this from whole foods not processed. live a little folks
