The rest of the family could care less, but as the sole grocery shopper and cook for our family, I get to make the decision on what we eat most of the time.

All You need to start with for this Recipe is Funfetti Cake Mix!
I still had a box of Pillsbury Funfetti mix leftover from Angeline’s birthday in October and thought I’d try something new and fun with it.
I love making cookies because portion control is just so much easier than with other baked goods.
I just began the Fiftluential March DietBet, so portion control is going to be especially important over the next four weeks!
These banana split cookies are super flavorful, and you can adjust the amount of chocolate chips, cherries, butterscotch, etc, depending on your tastes.
I may have already eaten three…
So much for portion control!
Angeline doesn’t even like cookies all that much and she’s already raved about them. They really are that good!

You used cake mix as a base? How fun! I love how colorful they are. I’m sure they taste uniquely amazing 🙂
This looks awesome. Come bake for me or teach Kevin! I know I cannot do it, but at least someone in the house could.
those sound really interesting.
Two of my favorite things in one!
I love cake cookies! I’m not a banana fan (except banana nut bread), but my son and hubby would love these!
Great idea and they look delish! My older bro loves banana split ice cream so I bet he would enjoy these too 🙂

You are killing me with all of these delicious recipes lately Jennifer.
These cookies look FANTASTIC !!
Hey there! I found you on the Saturday Night Fever Link Up Party. I LOVE the idea of these cookies. So easy too–the semi-homemade aspects of them are appealing.
My kids (and husband) are going to love these! Stopping by from Inspire Me Monday. I’d love if you’d come link up on my Tasty Tuesday party tomorrow!

Sounds like an interesting cookie but I don’t see how this recipe is getting away from processed food using a box of cake mix…I am no way a health nut but I am a baker and professional cook retired…so many wholesome recipes out there using unprocessed products…everything in moderation is fair…sorry for not agreeing on the cake mix …just my opinion!!
It isn’t completely different than processed food but it has a lot less preservatives and stuff than store bought cookies. 🙂 It’s okay, I know that many don’t like cake mixes and I don’t use them all the time myself. They just make it easier when I want to bake something without making every thing from scratch. 🙂
Please add the butterscotch chips to your recipe.
What a cute idea!
Butterscotch chips are on the list of ingredients but not in the instructions. People like me need step by step instructions!! ? how many cookies does this make? Thank you.
These look so yummy. I remember making banana split cake but never cookies. Need to try these.
Bev
Great idea! These look really yummy! Thanks for sharing!
I love anything banana split! Love that you added butterscotch to these! Yum.
I love banana splits so these cookies look amazing. I am going to add them to my Christmas cookie list Thank you so much for linking up to Dare to Share, you are today’s Dare to Share Feature of the Day .
These cookies are so fun! I have a weakness for maraschino cherries. Thanks for sharing with See Ya in the Gumbo.
Is the coconut oil liquid? I know that this may be a strange question, but I wasn’t sure if it’s the solid form or the liquid form. Thanks!
It’s kind of like the consistency of Crisco, it’s not solid, and once it sits out a while, it begins melting!
