Made with ripe bananas, whipped topping and vanilla wafer cookies, the classic dessert is creamy and comforting. I wanted to capture that flavor in cookie form, so I created a banana pudding cookie recipe with banana cream pudding mix. A pudding mix makes the <em>softest<\/em> cookies\u2014and they will stay that way!<\/p>\n<p>The pudding mix takes care of the banana flavor, and topping the cookies with crushed Nilla Wafers adds texture and crunch. But to really capture the iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/banana-pudding\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/banana-pudding\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">banana pudding<\/a> flavor, I include white chocolate chips. White chocolate is sweeter and creamier than regular chocolate and takes on the role of whipped cream. Put it all together, and you&#8217;ll want to make these banana pudding cookies again and again!<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Banana Pudding Cookies<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2032300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banana-Pudding-Cookies_TOHD24_277490_Molly-Allen_7.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead shot of all ingredients for Banana Pudding Cookies; pink texture surface;\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Molly Allen for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Instant pudding mix:<\/strong> The secret ingredient in this banana pudding cookie recipe is a package of instant banana cream pudding mix. Pudding makes cookies soft and tender, and this particular flavor enriches each bite with banana and vanilla.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter and sugar:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cream-butter-and-sugar\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cream-butter-and-sugar\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Creaming butter and sugar<\/a> aerates the batter to create a light-textured cookie. Granulated sugar aerates easily to make the cookies thick, while acidic, molasses-rich brown sugar reacts to the baking soda to help the cookies puff up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Eggs bind the other ingredients together and ensure the cookies have the proper moisture level.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla:<\/strong> A little vanilla extract brings out the vanilla flavor in the banana pudding mix.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> All-purpose flour is our go-to flour for making cookies. It produces cookies with a soft (but not too soft) texture and a chewy (but not too chewy) consistency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking soda:<\/strong> This leavening agent helps the banana pudding cookies rise so they have an ideal fluffy texture. Baking soda also contributes to browning, so the cookies finish with an appealing golden-brown hue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White baking chips:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-white-chocolate-chips\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-white-chocolate-chips\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">White chocolate chips<\/a> have a milky, buttery sweetness that melds nicely into the banana cream pudding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla wafers:<\/strong> Crushed cookies add crunch to the soft banana pudding cookie recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cream the butter and sugars<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2032301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banana-Pudding-Cookies_TOHD24_277490_Molly-Allen_8.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead shot of a large bowl; cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy; beat pudding mix; eggs and vanilla; in another bowl, whisk flour; baking soda and salt; blender; kitchen towel; pink texture surface;\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Molly Allen for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Instant pudding is designed to hydrate and set in cold liquid, so it has more cornstarch than cook-and-serve pudding. That cornstarch contributes to the cookie&#8217;s soft center and chewy texture. In a pinch, you can use cook-and-serve pudding, but the cookie&#8217;s texture won&#8217;t be the same.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make banana pudding cookies with sugar-free pudding mix?<\/h3>\n<p>You can use regular or sugar-free pudding mix to make this banana pudding cookie recipe. Using sugar-free pudding mix is a great way to reduce the cookie&#8217;s sweetness.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These banana pudding cookies capture the rich flavor of bananas, whipped topping and Nilla Wafers in a soft, chewy cookie.
