Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3.4 oz package banana cream instant pudding mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 banana, smashed
  • 2 large eggs

Add-ins

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and banana cream instant pudding mix until well integrated. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for your cookies.
  4. Add Banana, Pudding Mix, and Eggs: Next, add the smashed banana, then the dry pudding mix from the previous step, followed by the eggs. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the banana batter, mixing slowly to avoid overworking the dough and to ensure a tender cookie.
  6. Add White Chocolate Chips: Fold in the white chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution throughout the cookie dough for bursts of creamy sweetness.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Using a tablespoon, scoop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them appropriately to allow for spreading. Bake at 350°F for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cookies turn a light golden color around the edges.
  8. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents breakage and helps them set perfectly.

Notes

  • Using a ripe banana enhances the banana flavor and sweetness naturally.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and better cookie texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to avoid tough cookies.
  • White chocolate chips can be substituted with milk or dark chocolate chips according to preference.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For softer cookies, slightly underbake by 1-2 minutes and allow cooling on the baking sheet.
