Banana Pudding Cookies
I’ve always been a fan of banana pudding. Creamy pudding, vanilla wafers, bananas, and whipped cream, Mmmm! Such a comforting classic dessert! I decided to take banana pudding and turn it into a cookie. I am always dreaming up new cookie recipes:)
I wasn’t sure if my idea would work, but these Banana Pudding cookies taste just like Banana Pudding. If you put on a blind fold and took a bite, I bet you would think you were eating banana pudding. Ok, well the texture is a little different since it is a cookie, but the flavor is spot on! 
To create the Banana Pudding Cookies, I added a package of Banana Cream Pudding mix into the cookie dough. I love using pudding mixes in cookies because the pudding keeps the cookies super soft. If you like soft cookies, make sure you try my Vanilla Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies and Chocolate Pudding Cookies.
The Banana Cream Pudding gave the cookies the perfect banana flavor. You can’t have banana pudding with out vanilla wafers, so I added chopped up vanilla wafers into the cookie dough too! They added a nice little crunch and brought the banana pudding flavor to life. I stirred in white chocolate chips for the sweet whipped cream flavor.

Banana pudding is hit or miss for me. Sometimes it’s just too banana-y, but I would totally be all over these cookies.
I always make my chocolate chip cookies with vanilla pudding mix! Found it in Allrecipes a while ago and it became our favorite “chocolate chip cookie” …. looking forward to switching it a little bit with banana pudding mix!

I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing these look. I love your vanilla pudding chocolate chip cookies and I have been yearning for banana pudding lately, even bought some a few weeks ago. These are going to be made soon!
Maria these cookies look delish! One of my fave flavors is banana and now I can’t wait to make these cookies. My family are cookie fanatics! Probably because I don’t bake very often.
thank you so much for sharing this! i already tried them and the whole family really enjoyed them. next time, i’m going to try them with half the white chip amount though, as i find white chocolate pretty sweet. but other than that… perfect!
i’ve tried pudding cookies before, and they’re fine and all. but this is much better. i noticed that your flour/butter/pudding mix ratio is different, and i’m guessing that’s why. you truly are the cookie queen. high fives!!
I was so excited to make these but I will be honest when I did I was disappointed. There were two things I did not like: 1. The fake banana flavor that the pudding produces 2. They were just way too sweet. I love sweet but between the brown sugar, granulated sugar, sugar in the pudding mix, sugar in the wafers and sugar in the chips it was even too much sweet for me. Now this was my first time making pudding cookies. I have made pudding cake. So I am wondering if I used vanilla pudding with mashed bananas to help with the banana flavor and then eliminate the granulated sugar if that might solve my problem or do you think real bananas would make the cookie just fall apart? I am a big fan of your recipes by the way and I am sure this is just personal taste on this one. Thanks.

Sorry you thought the cookies were too sweet. You can play around with the recipe and try adding bananas if you wish.
These are fantastic! read somewhere else that you were experimenting with pudding recipes. Pistachio pudding has always been a favorite of mine….
