This banana pie was very refreshing and delicious. I made the mistake of using all the cookie dough because there didn't seem to be enough with just half, so they crust was a little thick. Next time I'll only use half the dough or maybe just a little bit more to be able to fill the whole pie plate. I used cool whip instead of the whipping cream to save time, with good results. This was a great treat for summer, thanks!
