BaNilla Sandwich Cookies
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?

Hi Krista-Try marshmallow puff or caramel sauce.

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!

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?

yummy AND cute! I’ll be featuring this on my blog on Friday at smallfineprint.com
