Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup strawberry pudding mix
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cheesecake Dip
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking for your cookies.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, mashed banana, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
  3. Gradually add in the strawberry pudding mix, all-purpose flour, and baking soda. Mix until just combined.
  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Cheesecake Dip
  1. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and lemon juice, mixing until combined and creamy.
Serving
  1. Dip your freshly baked cookies into the cheesecake dip, savoring every bite.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream instead of cream cheese. Allow cookies to cool completely before dipping to maintain their texture. Don’t overmix the dough for a soft, chewy consistency.
