We all love those big old soft sugar cookies, how about having them banana flavor? These Banana Cream Lofthouse Style Cookies are off the wall in flavortown!
Have you ever been in food love? Like having that one recipe, one dish or one restaurant item that sends your taste buds into overload? Well these Banana Cream Lofthouse Style cookies are mine.
It is heaven in every single bite. I can’t even emphasize that enough, this are hands down one of the best cookies I have ever had.
Ok, so I’ve said that these were flavorful, but they are also super easy. And we all know how I love easy recipes, especially when they are gone in less than a day.
Every time we go to the grocery store my 2-year-old runs to the bakery and just stares at their Lofthouse style sugar cookies. Obviously since she is adorable I always give in. I totally forgot how easy these were to make, so bye-bye store-bought and hello homemade.
Now you could totally make these plain sugar cookie version, but how boring is that (not at all really, but trust me, banana is always better)? Since we all now I am the BIGGEST banana fan, just check out some of my banana recipes here, here, here oh….and here!
I’m absolutely sure there will be plenty more to come, I would post about banana every day if I could, that’s how obsessed I am with the flavor.
What is your most loved banana recipe? I will most likely be all over it!
