Ingredients

Easy Banana Pudding Cookies Recipe

1 cup unsalted butter softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3.4 ounce package instant banana cream pudding mix
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups white chocolate chips
Optional: 10 nilla wafers, crumbles

How to Make Banana Cream Pudding Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grab a baking sheet, lining it with parchment paper.
Using a mixer begin to beat together your butter and sugars, creating a creamy and indulgent base for your cookies.
Add in the instant banana pudding mix, the eggs and the vanilla extract and mix together until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt and flour together. This will add structure and balance to your cookies, ensuring they come out perfectly chewy and delicious.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing together until just combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips and add the nilla wafers if desired.
Using a medium or large cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough scoops onto the prepared baking sheet.
For medium-sized cookies (about 2 tablespoons) bake cookies 10-12 minutes.
For ¼ cup cookies, bake cookies 13-15 minutes.
When they’re ready, pull the golden-brown cookies out of the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for two minutes. This allows them to set and ensures they maintain their chewy texture. Then, with a spatula, transfer them to a cooling rack, to cool completely.

Storing Cookies

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Other Variations

For crunch: Add some pecans, walnuts or some toffee chips for some delicious textures in your cookies.
Other flavors: Change out the banana cream for chocolate, vanilla, pistachio, lemon or butterscotch!
Add some delicious Golden Oreos in place of nilla wafers if you’re wanting something other than nilla wafers if you’re wanting something extra delish!
If you like banoffee desserts, you could add peanut butter, salted caramel or butterscotch chips in place of white chocolate chips! Of course, if you’re a true chocolate and banana fan, of course, milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips would also be awesome!

Let’s be real, you won’t be able to resist taking a bite of these amazing banana cream pudding cookies once they’re baked and ready for consumption. The combination of banana cream pudding and white chocolate, with a hint of salt, is simply divine. As you savor the flavors and textures, you can’t help but feel a sense of comfort and happiness in these sweet treats!

So, the next time you’re looking for a unique twist on a classic dessert, try using banana cream pudding mix in your cookie dough. Your taste buds (and possibly your family and friends) will thank you. Happy baking!
