The cookies are delicious. Could use a little more banana flavor, but that's just a personal preference. The filling, however, was just kind of nasty. Maybe it's because I didn't use that creme yogurt, but I couldn't get it to come together and three cups of sugar makes it way too sweet, but any less and it's not stiff enough. I can't even imagine how sweet it might be with the filling and the dusting sugar. *shivers* If you want to fill the cookies, I suggest finding a good recipe for banana whoopie pie filling. Or just use marshmallow filling and chopped bananas. Again, the cookies are absolutely delicious, but stay away from the filling.

Way way to sweet! Not well received at work. Although nice looking I felt it was a very unhealthy desert. I will not repeat this recipe.

There is a typo in the ingredient list for this recipe. The second ingredient should be listed as: “1/3 cup butter OR margarine” (NOT butter AND margarine). If you use 1/3 cup of each you will have a very sticky dough that will rise and spread into huge cookies when baked. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just love these cookies. Their fine, cake-like texture and silky smooth, banana-butter cream filling compliment each other so nicely. They remind me of Sara Lee Banana Cake. They freeze beautifully, so it works great to make them ahead. I like to keep some on hand in the freezer for whenever I want a special treat.
