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.

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.

These were one of the easiest cookies to make. To add some more flavor I used strawberry-banana yogurt. They turned out great.
