🍌 Banana Pudding Cookies (Easy & Simple)

Ingredients

• 1 box banana cream instant pudding mix (3.4 oz)
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers

Instructions

1. Preheat oven
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream butter and sugars
   In a bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs and pudding mix
   Mix in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and the dry banana pudding mix and beat until smooth.
4. Add dry ingredients
   Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
5. Fold in extras
   Gently mix in white chocolate chips and crushed vanilla wafers.
6. Scoop cookies
   Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake
   Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
8. Cool
   Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

✨ Tip: For extra banana flavor, add ½ cup mashed ripe banana to the dough (reduce flour slightly). These cookies stay soft and chewy, just like banana pudding!
