Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined, then stir in the mashed bananas until incorporated.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant banana pudding mix, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and vanilla wafer crumbs until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a rounded tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Be sure not to overbake to maintain the soft and chewy texture.
  9. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve and enjoy these delectable Homemade Banana Pudding Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.

Notes

  1. Serving Suggestions:
    • Enjoy these Homemade Banana Pudding Cookies warm out of the oven for the ultimate indulgence.
    • Pair them with a cold glass of milk, a cup of hot tea, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious treat.
    • Serve them at parties, gatherings, or as a delightful snack any time of the day.
  2. Storage Instructions:
    • Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness and texture.
    • To extend their shelf life, you can also freeze the cookies. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
    • When ready to enjoy, simply thaw the cookies at room temperature or reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds for a warm, gooey treat.
  3. Reheating Tips:
    • If you prefer warm cookies, you can reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until warmed through.
    • Alternatively, you can place the cookies on a baking sheet and reheat them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5-7 minutes for that freshly baked taste.
  4. Gift Ideas:
    • Package these delightful cookies in decorative boxes or bags to give as homemade gifts for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions.
