Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular butter. To brown butter, melt it in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a light golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
- For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the flavors to develop and the dough to firm up.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a plastic sandwich bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
- To make the cupcakes even more decadent, top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
These banana cookies and cream cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're moist and flavorful, with a creamy frosting that's the perfect complement to the banana flavor. Whether you're a fan of cookies and cream or just love banana-flavored desserts, you're sure to enjoy these cupcakes.
