Ingredients
  

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup vanilla pudding mix (instant)

1 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for added sweetness)

1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers (for added crunch and flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

      Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla pudding mix until well incorporated.

          Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, combining until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Extras: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and crushed vanilla wafers until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. They may seem soft but will firm up as they cool.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy these delightful Banana Pudding Cookies with a glass of cold milk or as a sweet treat any time of the day!
