Time 45m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup (5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing
Nonstick vegetable oil spray, optional
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 banana, sliced thin
1 cup chopped white chocolate
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup crushed pretzels
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Steps:

  • For the cookie: Position an oven rack in the lowest position in the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Thoroughly grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with butter (or use a stainless-steel skillet coated with nonstick vegetable oil spray).
  • Mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until no large lumps remain, about 1 minute.
  • Stir together the egg and vanilla in a large bowl. Fold in the banana and white chocolate. Combine the flour and baking soda in a separate large bowl until thoroughly combined. Add the egg mixture and butter mixture to the flour mixture and thoroughly combine. Fold in the pretzels until evenly distributed.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared skillet and pat into an even layer with damp hands so the batter extends to the edges of the skillet.
  • Bake until the outer edges are browned and slightly puffed, 20 to 25 minutes (15 to 18 minutes for stainless steel). Let cool.
  • For the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream and peanut butter in a large cold mixing bowl with an electric mixer until it starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, then continue beating until stiff peaks form (when you pull the beater up, peaks will form and not fall over), 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Slice and serve the cookie with the whipped cream.
