Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 (3.4 oz) box instant banana cream pudding mix
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until well combined.
Mix in the dry banana pudding mix until fully incorporated.
Stir in the salt, baking soda, and flour until a dough forms.
Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop to portion dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optional: Chill the dough for 20 minutes for puffier cookies.
Bake at 350°F for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
Let cookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Always use instant pudding mix, not cook-and-serve.
Chilling the dough helps control spreading.
Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
You can substitute chocolate chips, nuts, or coconut for variations.
