BaNilla Sandwich Cookies

October 11, 2011 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 47 Comments

Time to embrace simplicity in this no-bake cookie sandwich that clocks a mere 10 minutes to whip up 2 dozen popable cookies. That’s popable so no bite required. This is a simple idea that utilizes a banana slice, sandwiched between two mini Nilla wafer cookies with a little peanut butter spread for added flavor and then dipped in sprinkles for added happiness. Fast. Simple. Easy. And look at how freak’n adorable they are.

BaNilla Sandwich Cookies

 

Don’t these look like mini whoopie pies. I’d love to take credit for this idea, but nope, not mine. I found this idea on Pinterest and knew I had to try it. The only thing I added to the idea was the sprinkles. I think next time I will dip them in chocolate and maybe rim it with crushed peanuts.  

 

Banilla Sandwich Cookies

Keep in mind when I say mini, they are almost micro mini in size. These Banilla Sandwhich Cookies are a little smaller than the size of a quarter. Which makes them the perfect popable size, so don’t worry about biting into this cookie and having the banana slice squishing its way out the other end.

 

A few notes:

  • You can’t make these too far in advance as the cookie starts to soften and the sprinkles start to bleed from the moisture of the banana. Luckily these take no time to turn out 2-plus dozen.
  • Remember these are mini Nilla wafes, not the regular size ones.
  • Variation: Rim with crushed peanuts. Spread Nutella instead peanut butter. Shoot there is just a whole lot you can do here, so go crazy and if you do-please, come back and share with the rest of us.

    these are super cute, but my son is allergic to peanuts & i’m not sure about hazelnuts…any thoughts of something to spread on the cookies to hold the banana in place that is nut-less?

    SO adorable! I think kids would love these, and for the picky ones who might not otherwise like fruit etc, it could be a good way of sneaking a little potassium and protein into their diets!

    How’d you get your banana slices to fit so perfectly between the nilla wafers? Did you have to trim then off or was it just a small banana?

    hi krista,

    my kids are allergic to nuts as well, i always replace peanut butter with soya butter. Tastes and looks just like peanut butter but it’s 100% peanut free and my kids love it, hope this helps!

  39. Mandy says

    April 17, 2013 at 3:19 pm

    Sunflower Seed Butter is a good alternative too.

  41. Misty Tipton says

    I have done something similar (no banana) with just cake icing in the middle.

    I myself am allergic to peanut butter and I eat soy nut butter which is great.

    I’m going to try strawberry jam instead of peanut butter, dip in chocolate, then chopped peanuts. All that’s missing from this mini banana split is the pineapple! Thanks!

  44. Debora Batz says

    August 12, 2014 at 10:27 am

    Quick & easy to make plus they look like they took hours. I peanut butter as suggested and everyone loved them.

    Try a simple ganache of 1 part chocolate melted with 1 part heavy cream.

    Mde theese with regular sized nilla wafers and fruit dip. Which is just a package of cream cheeses and a 7oz jar of marshmallow fluff. make it so the dip is around the bananna to stick the sprinkles. Yummy
