We assure you this recipe is all treat, no trick.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
Total Time: 30-35 minutes
Ingredients:
1 bag chocolate chip cookie mix (look for a mix that yields 3 dozen cookies)
½ cup canned pumpkin
1 large overripe banana
½ cup white chocolate chips, divided
1 ½ cup white frosting of your choice (vanilla, cream cheese, etc)
Yellow and orange food coloring
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Divide cookie mix in half in two separate bowls.
3. Peel and mash banana. In one bowl, add mashed banana. In another bowl, add canned pumpkin. If desired, add yellow food coloring to banana portion, and orange to canned pumpkin portion.
4. Mix each bowl of cookie mix and pumpkin or banana until a dough forms.
5. Grease a pizza pan or 9 inch cake pan. First, make an outer ring with the banana cookie dough mix. Fill the center with the pumpkin cookie dough mix. Add half white chocolate chips to center to form a small circle.
6. Place in the oven and bake until the cookie is browned and fragrant and a toothpick releases upon insertion in the center, 15-25 minutes.
7. Allow to cool. Add remaining half white chocolate chips to center on top of the melted/baked white chocolate chips.
8. If frosting, dye half frosting yellow and half frosting orange by mixing food coloring or food dye into frosting. Frost with yellow frosting around the outer banana ring and orange frosting around the middle pumpkin ring.
