Banana Cream Pie Cookies – Crumbl Copycat

Banana cream pie cookies are sweet and creamy with a graham cracker crust inspired cookie base and an easy banana cream filling. Now you can make this Crumbl cookie copycat in the comfort of your own kitchen!

Once upon a time I decided to make a peach crisp cookie which was like a peach crisp and a peach cobbler all in one. Then I figured an apple crisp cookie had to come next. It was divine!

So naturally I had to dabble into the cream pie-inspired cookies, and the key lime pie cookie was born and the pumpkin pie cookie quickly followed. And with each new cookie, someone would tell me that Crumbl had the same cookie. Ha! Blast those Crumbl people!

So I guess you can call these Crumbl cookie copycat recipes, but these recipes have really just been my imagination running wild. What kind of cookie should I try to make next that Crumbl hasn’t already made?! Is there anything? I know they have a banana cream pie cookie already, but ours is better! 🤫

Ingredients for Banana Cream Pie Cookies

The ingredients for this banana cookie recipe is divided into two components. First, you have the banana cream pudding and then you have the cookie base. Here is what you will need for both parts:

Banana Cream Pie Filling

  • Bananas: You want them slightly ripe, bright yellow with just a few brown spots on the peels to add real banana flavor.
  • Whole Milk: Combines with the pudding powder to make the creamy filling.
  • Instant French Vanilla Pudding Mix: Make sure it is the instant pudding mix and NOT the cook and serve kind.
  • Cream Cheese: adds richness and creaminess
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: adds more sweetness and creaminess
  • Cool Whip: You can use regular whipped cream but Cool Whip holds its thickness and structure better.

Cookie Base

  • Unsalted Butter: make sure it is softened but not melting at all
  • Cream Cheese: need to be softened so it will integrate into the cookie dough smoothly
  • Brown Sugar: adds rich flavor and sweetness
  • White Sugar: adds sweetness
  • Vanilla Extract: adds flavor
  • Eggs: adds structure to the cookie base
  • Almond Extract: totally optional, but I love the flavor it adds
  • Flour: just regular all-purpose flour
  • Cornstarch: adds chewiness to the cookies
  • Baking Powder and Baking Soda: adds fluffiness and rise to the cookies
  • Salt
