Banoffee Pie Cookies bring together banana, toffee, and white chocolate in every bite. They're soft and chewy with a sweet, cozy taste that puts a fun spin on traditional cookies. Perfect for snack time or dessert gatherings.

I whipped these up for a chill weekend hangout and they disappeared fast. They bring a warm, fun vibe that makes them my favorite to share with company.

Needed Ingredients

  • Light brown sugar: adds moistness plus a deep caramel taste
  • Baking soda: gently lifts cookies to keep them tender
  • Small pinch of salt: brings out the sweetness perfectly
  • Mashed ripe banana: juicy and sweet, best when very ripe
  • All-purpose flour: for cookie structure, fresh is best for a good rise
  • White chocolate chips: melt-in-your-mouth creamy spots
  • Large eggs: bind everything and add richness
  • Vanilla extract: gives a sweet, aromatic boost
  • Soft caramels or toffee bits: create that signature banoffee texture and taste
  • Unsalted butter: softened so dough turns fluffy
  • Optional crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers: add crunch and bonus flavor on top
  • Granulated sugar: gives sweetness and helps edges crisp up

Step-By-Step Directions

Whip The Butter And Sugars:
Start by mixing softened butter with both kinds of sugar until it’s light and creamy. This sets up a soft, tender cookie texture.
Mix In Wet Ingredients:
Beat eggs in one at a time to keep things smooth. Stir in vanilla and mashed banana so every cookie tastes nicely banana-y.
Whisk Dry Stuff Separately:
In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt well so the rising and seasoning is even.
Blend Dry Into Wet:
Add the dry mix to the wet ingredients slowly, folding it gently just to combine. Don’t overwork the dough or cookies might turn tough.
Stir In Sweet Bits:
Fold in toffee pieces and white chocolate chips evenly, so each bite has yummy surprises.
Form Cookies And Top:
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment, spacing them about two inches apart. If you want, gently press biscuit crumbs on top for extra crunch.
Bake At 350°F:
Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until edges turn a little golden but centers still feel soft.
Let Cool Before Moving:
Leave cookies to chill on the tray a few minutes so they firm up before moving to a wire rack.

One of the best parts was making these on a rainy day with my kids, who loved pressing biscuit crumbs on top to make each cookie personal.

Best Storage Ideas

Keep cookies sealed at room temp to stay soft for up to five days. If you want to save longer, freeze them flat on a tray then transfer to a sealed bag. They'll keep fresh for up to three months. When frozen, just thaw at room temp or warm up a bit to get that fresh-baked feeling back.

Switch Up Ingredients

Try swapping toffee for fudge bits or toffee-flavored nuts for a different crunch. Use milk or dark chocolate chips instead of white if you prefer. For a cozy twist, add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon, which pairs great with banana.

Tasty Serving Ideas

Pair these with a strong black coffee or creamy latte to balance out the sweetness. A scoop of vanilla ice cream makes it feel like a real treat. Fresh fruit like berries or apple slices also works well to cut through the rich caramel flavors.

Letting cookies rest on the baking sheet before moving them helps keep their shape and stops them from breaking.
