A RECIPE FOR YOU!
Banana Whip Cinnamon Cookie Sandwiches
Yield: 6 cookie sandwiches
Ingredients:
3 bananas
2 tbsp white sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
2/3 cup butter, softened
1 ¼ eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
Directions:
1. Cut bananas into 1 inch pieces and freeze overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
3. Mix 2 tbsp white sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.
4. In another bowl, mix the remainder of the white sugar and the brown sugar with the butter and blend until grainy.
5. Add eggs and vanilla extract and whip until smooth and creamy.
6. Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to sugar mixture, mixing at low speed just long enough to combine.
7. Roll dough into twelve 1-inch balls, then roll each ball into cinnamon-sugar to coat. Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheets and bake at 300 degrees F for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from sheets and let cool on racks.
8. Blend the frozen bananas in a food processor for about one minute until smooth.
9. Spoon the smooth banana whip onto the back of one of the cookies. Take another cookie and gently press the mixture down to make a cookie sandwich.
10. Repeat until you have six cookie sandwiches.
11. Enjoy!

Meet Cyra Bruce…
Cyra Bruce
I’m a 30-something young woman with an old soul – I love staying in and baking on a Saturday night, growing flowers, little old southern houses, lacy tablecloths, taking afternoon tea on the porch and, of course, writing cozy mysteries! I live in a little stone cottage on the Caribbean island of St Lucia with my husband, a St Lucian, who I met and married in my native England. We decided to move to this little island paradise to grow our own food and live more simply, and I am grateful to live a much more peaceful life than the characters in my books!
While I have been writing for myself and others all my life, “Slice of Paradise Cozy Mysteries” is the first work I’ve published under my own name. If you would like to know more about both the books and me, please SUBSCRIBE to the series mailing list! You’ll get a FREE story called The Cream Pie Alibi that cannot be found anywhere else PLUS special discounts & fun stuff…like contests! We’ll have so much fun!
