banoffee cookie dough
This Banoffee cookie dough is sweet with caramel and bananas, rich, creamy and gooey with chocolate on the inside and crispy and golden on the outside.
It is a dessert that will be devoured in minutes.
You have 2 options here:
Serve it while it is still warm and dig in with a dollop of ice cream or eat it cold after it has set a little. I prefer it hot. YUM.
Is this a Cookie Dough or Pizookie?
banoffee cookie dough ingredients
Here are the basic ingredients:
Unsalted Butter – I use this because it helps with the sweet/salty balance because you can always add some flaky salt on top or a little salt to the batter after tasting it if it isn’t salty enough but you can’t take any away from pre salted butter.
Caster Sugar – For gorgeously crisp edges.
Brown sugar – Any time you want a bit of chew, add some brown sugar.
1 Egg and 1 Egg Yolk – I like to use Clarence Court Eggs because the yolks are so vibrant and silky.
Plain Flour – I prefer to use Plain Flour in most my baking recipes so that i can control the amount of raising agent that I put in.
Vanilla Paste – Lifts the flavour of any cookie. An extract will also work.
Baking Powder – To add a little lift.
Salt – Just a pinch to bring everything together.
Chocolate Chips – I use chopped chocolate instead of chips but you can add chocolate chips, caramels, M & Ms and any chocolatey treat that you love.
Caramel and Bananas - Golden caramel and bananas make this cookie dough irresistible!
Digestives & Butter - Make a crumb and add it into the cookie dough. Save some for the top too.

Fold in the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients. Stir them together gently then beat until everything is combined and there are no lumps.

Add more batter on top.

Next, bake for 20 – 25 minutes, or until the sides are just browning/set and the middle is still slightly jiggly. It will continue to bake after it is removed from the oven.

Let the cookie cool for 5-10 minutes before you serve it! Add some banana and a dollop of ice cream to the centre and serve.
tips on how to make the best banoffee cookie dough
Use a thick store brought caramel or tinned caramel.
You can make this in the same sized cast iron pan.
The short baking time keeps the middle gooey, if you prefer it more set increase the baking time.
Add chopped nuts/chopped chocolates/caramels/chopped treats of your choice.
