Filled with the flavors of banana, chocolate and cherries, these easy cookies start with a cake mix for easy, fun cookies.
I wasn’t going to post a dessert today, because I have a whole week of red velvet desserts coming to you next week. But then I realized that I haven’t even posted a dessert at all for 2 weeks now, and really, I don’t think I’ve ever gone that long without posting a dessert!!
So I am here with cookies. And not just any cookies. Banana Split Cake Mix Cookies. Now, I’ll admit that I do love a good cake mix cookie every once in awhile. And it’s pretty obvious that all of you do because the cake mix cookies I posted in 2007 are still the #2 recipe here. (Terrible picture an all!!) Today’s recipe has a few more ingredients mixed in, but you get an incredibly flavorful cookie with very little effort. You don’t even need a mixer – these come together by hand in a matter of minutes!! They are super soft and full of banana, chocolate and cherry flavors. And don’t forget the sprinkles!!

These cookies look so good! I love a good banana split, but have never tried it in cookie form. I’ve added these to my Pinterest Cookie Recipe board so I can give them a try as soon as we get back to Cookie Fridays with the kids. Thanks for sharing!

.”Form the dough into balls just larger than a walnut “.
Hello, I don’t have an idea of what the above approximates to. Can you tell me in terms of teaspoons or tablespoons how much dough would I need to make the “walnut sized” measurement please?
Thank you.
Deborah says
You can use about 1 1/2 tablespoons or if you have a cookie scoop close to that.
dc says
Hello Ms. Deborah, you mentioned that these are soft cookies? What would you do to get them a bit firmer?
Thank you.

Everyone loved them, and I’m making the third batch now. I used melted butter instead of oil. Thank you.
