If you have made my Fruit Pizza recipe, then this will all be familiar to you. Basically they are little mini fruit pizzas, but with a gooey chocolatey twist. AND who DOESN’T enjoy a gooey chocolatey twist?!?! AND what makes these so quick and easy to make, using pre-made cookie dough for the base. You can of course make your own sugar cookies (THIS recipe is my grandma’s tried and true sugar cookies)…but trust me…these will get eaten so quickly that NOBODY will care that these are not FROM SCRATCH!! If you would rather have ONE BIG PAN of Banana Split cookie goodness, just follow the instructions to make FRUIT PIZZA, and then add the chocolate sauce before serving!!

Banana Split Cookies

Fruit, frosting and chocolate sauce…just like any GOOD banana split.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 24 cookies

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 16 oz package refrigerated sugar cookie dough

Frosting

  • 1 8 oz cream cheese (I prefer the whipped type)
  • 1 tsp vanilla For the best frosting of your life, throw in an additional tsp of almond extract too. YUMMM!!!
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar

Toppings

  • sliced strawberries
  • sliced bananas
  • chocolate syrup

Instructions
 

  • Bake cookies according to package instructions. Cool.
  • Mix cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar to make frosting.
  • Top each cookie with cream cheese frosting. Top with sliced strawberries and bananas. Drizzle chocolate syrup on top. DEVOUR!!
  • These are best when eaten RIGHT after making. They WILL last if you store them in the fridge, but the cookie will begin to get soggy. Or you can make a few hours ahead and add chocolate right before eating, bananas may brown though in the fridge. If you want more of a chocolate covered strawberry treat, skip the bananas.
