Banana Pudding Cookies
Description
These Banana Pudding Cookies are made by creaming together butter and sugars, then beating in banana cream instant pudding mix, eggs, and vanilla extract. All-purpose flour is combined with baking soda and salt, then incorporated into the wet ingredients to form a dough. Chopped vanilla wafer cookies and white chocolate chips are folded in, adding texture and bursts of sweetness.
Cookies are dropped by rounded tablespoons onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and baked at 350°F until the edges begin to turn slightly golden and the centers are set but still soft. Cooling on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a rack ensures they hold their shape while finishing cooling.
These cookies bring the nostalgic flavors of banana pudding into a cookie form with the soft, moist bite of pudding-infused dough balanced by crunchy wafers and creamy white chocolate. They work well as a snack, dessert, or party treat.
