This easy dessert recipe is perfect for holidays, cookie exchanges, or anytime you want a sweet and delicious cookie recipe to eat.
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED TO MAKE BANANA PUDDING COOKIES
You’ll be surprised to see just how basic and easy this recipe is. It uses a secret ingredient – Instant Banana Pudding that turns these cookies into something spectacular!
I promise you won’t be disappointed with this recipe.
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- butter, 12 tbsp total
- light brown sugar
- white sugar
- instant banana cream pudding, dry mix only
- eggs
- vanilla
- baking soda
- flour
- white chocolate chips
INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
PUDDING MIX: If you aren’t feeling banana cookies today then feel free to mix it up. You can make whatever flavor cookies your heart desires. Chocolate Chip Vanilla Pudding Cookies are a delicious alternative to this banana recipe!
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: This recipe uses white chocolate chips to compliment the banana flavors that run throughout the cookie, but you could always use milk chocolate instead. I haven’t tried it yet so make sure to leave a comment below if you make this change. I’d love to know what you think!
HOW TO MAKE THESE EASY BANANA COOKIES
FIRST STEP: Combine the flour and baking soda in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
SECOND STEP: In a separate large mixing bowl cream your butter and sugars together using a hand mixer.
THIRD STEP: Add in the dry pudding mix and continue to beat with the hand mixer until well blended.
FOURTH STEP: Add your eggs and vanilla and beat with the hand mixer until smooth and no lumps remain.
FIFTH STEP: Combine your wet and dry mixture, stir together with a wooden spoon. Add the white chocolate chips and gently fold together.
SIXTH STEP: Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
SEVENTH STEP: Bake these cookies at 350 degrees F for 8-9 minutes. You want to take them out of the oven before they start to brown. I’ve found that 8 minutes is usually perfect, 9 minutes at the most. You want these cookies slightly under-cooked.

MarkettaB says
Salted or unsalted butter?
Shauna says
Hi! I use salted for everything because that’s what my kids eat. Usually for baking I’d recommend unsalted but I know for a fact that I used salted on this recipe. If you do use unsalted let us know how it turns out. I’m sure other readers have the same question!
Tabbitha says
O made these this morning, I did add a half of a very ripe banana. They were wonderful.
Donna Currin says
Hello. For the banana pudding cookies is it 135 g box or banana ream pudding
Yessi says
1 3.4 ounce instant banana cream pudding dry mix only is the 96g box
Heather K Miller says

Marianne says
How many cookies does this recipe make?
Shauna {The Best Blog Recipes} says
Hi Marianne, It’s been a while since I’ve made this particular recipe but I believe it was just over 2 dozen…. depending on how big you make them though. I made these on the smaller side so I could send them with my hubby to work as treats;)
Cindy Eikenberg says
Shauna, these cookies sound so delicious and look fantastic! Thanks for sharing your recipe and pinned! Hope you have a happy Sunday!

Greer
Shauna | The Best Blog Recipes says
We actually picked up the paper at our local grocery store! I have seen something similar at a store called Zuchers here locally in town too. Hope that helps!
Brandy says

Sarah mascorro says
Omg just made they are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Sondra says
Just made this recipe. Instead of white chocolate chips I used butterscotch chips. Made 35 cookies. So easy!
Monica says
Easily the best cookies I’ve ever had! I’ve made them three times now and everyone at the family,my husband, and my mother-in-law agree they’re the best! I just crammed a whole one in my mouth before I typed this!
Rebecca Morris says
Soooo easy and very yummy!
Jill says
Everyone at work LOVED these. I did banana pudding with choc chips and they were a big hit. This time I made strawberry pudding (yes, they make such a thing) and confetti chips and root beer pudding (who would have thunk) and white chocolate. All a huge hit. Tonight I’m going to try coconut pudding with coconut flakes instead of chocolate chips and chocolate pudding with chocolate chips. I also want to try butterscotch pudding with butterscotch chips. I don’t think you can go wrong with these cookies. They are my favorite ever! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!
Ed Billo says
Add some Pecans or Walnuts and these will be even better.
Ernest Smith says
Love it
Erica says
Just made these for a family reunion but mine stayed in balls and didn’t spread like a usual cookie. I swapped the white sugar for Monkfruit, used Sugar-free pudding mix, and unsalted butter. I think next time I’ll use baking powder instead of baking soda. The recipe was easy to follow and the banana flavor is so good.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Zoey says
My Dad has been searching for the perfect banana cookie, so I made these for him for Veterans Day and he says they’re the best banana cookies he has ever had! I have to agree. They are amazing! Thank you for sharing.
P. Martinez says
My grandkids love them & so do I,thank you.
Debbie says
Well I thought it said 13.4 oz of pudding mix. So that is what I used lol. We will see how they turn out. It says 1- 3.4 oz whoops
Johanna Knuth says
Omg my mouth was watering soon as I looked at the pictures.
cat says
not a real strong bananna flavor, just a hint – if i didn’t know it was a bananna cookie don’t know that i would have guessed that – which, was perfect for me as i don’t care for bananna desserts… that being said, these were delicious! i couldn’t get the crumbs to stay on top of the dough balls so rolled them in the crumbs and worked perfectly!
