I love anything with peanut butter, so when I saw this recipe for soft banana cookies with a yummy peanut butter filling, I had to make them. Use a cookie scoop to keep them nicely rounded and all the same size. -Jessie Sarrazin, Livingston, Montana

Steps:
- Position racks in the center and lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Make the cookies: Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla on medium-high speed in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until combined, scraping down the bowl. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture and milk in 3 alternating batches. Fold in the blueberries with a rubber spatula.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray. Arrange mounds of batter, about 2 tablespoons each, 2 inches apart; smooth the tops with a damp finger. Chill until firm, 30 minutes.
- Bake the cookies until lightly golden, rotating the pans halfway through, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese, butter, lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar on low speed until combined.
- Assemble the whoopie pies: Spread 2 tablespoons of filling on the flat side of 6 cookies and sandwich with the remaining cookies. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, overnight.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your whoopie pies will be.
- Freeze the bananas before using: This will make them easier to blend and will help to prevent the whoopie pies from becoming too soft.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the whoopie pies to hold their shape better.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough: This will help to ensure that all of the whoopie pies are the same size.
- Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them: This will help to prevent the filling from melting.
- Use a variety of fillings: You can use anything from classic buttercream to chocolate ganache to fruit preserves.
- Decorate the whoopie pies as desired: You can use sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even candy melts.
