Instructions:

Prepare the Cookie Dough Base: Start by cutting the cookie dough in half widthwise. Allow one portion to soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes while keeping the other half refrigerated for future use. Press the softened dough onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 11-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Once baked, let it cool on a wire rack.
Prepare the Filling: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly. Reduce the heat and continue cooking and stirring for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Incorporate Eggs and Flavorings: Stir a small amount of the hot filling into the egg yolks, then return the egg mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook and stir for another 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Assemble the Pie: Spread 1 cup of the prepared filling into the baked crust. Slice the firm bananas and arrange them over the filling. Pour the remaining filling over the bananas. Refrigerate the pie for 2 hours or until set.
Prepare the Topping: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the cream until it begins to thicken. Add the confectioners’ sugar and the remaining vanilla extract, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Finish and Serve: Spread the whipped cream topping over the chilled pie. For best results, refrigerate the assembled pie for an additional 1 hour before serving. Any leftovers should be promptly refrigerated.
