Soft, chewy, and full of nostalgic banana pudding flavor, these Banana Pudding Cookies are the perfect blend of bananas, vanilla, and buttery Nilla wafers—all packed into an irresistible dessert cookie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant banana pudding mix
  • 1 cup crushed Nilla wafers
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and mashed banana until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and instant banana pudding mix.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to form a soft dough.
  5. Fold in the crushed Nilla wafers and white chocolate chips.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop dough onto the sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Chill dough to prevent excessive spreading.
  • Use very ripe bananas for best flavor.
  • Press extra wafer pieces on top before baking for visual appeal.
  • Cookies can be frozen after baking or as dough balls.
