Dixie Crystals Insight
Recipe developed for Dixie Crystals by Shelly Jaronsky @CookiesandCups.
These are my new favorite cookie - so easy to make, very soft and sweet, and that icing is so delicious!! It does taste just like banana pie in cookie form!
One time i made this with instant caramel pudding instead of banana for my husband and put caramel sauce on top of the icing instead of vanilla wafer crumbs. Those were a big hit at home and at work too!
