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.

I’m assuming I have to soften the butter but you know what they say about assuming so I figured I’d ask. Please let me know as I’d like to make these asap

Follow the recipe. I would use a little less salt next time. But ultimately they are yummy and easy to make. We used a teaspoon of banana extract also. The 2 year old nephew said ummmm. Good Mimi 👍
