Banana Pudding Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package of banana pudding jello mix yep, the secret weapon
  • 1 ripe banana mashed (the spottier the better!)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips feel free to add a smidge more, I won’t tell
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup butter softened

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or if you’re like me and out of parchment again, a little non-stick spray works too.
  • In a big mixing bowl, cream together your butter and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. A hand mixer is great, but elbow grease works too.
  • Now toss in your mashed banana, eggs, and vanilla. Mix it up until it looks like banana mushy goodness.
  • In a separate bowl (I know, more dishes, but trust me here), whisk together the flour, banana pudding mix, and baking soda.
  • Add your dry stuff to the wet stuff gradually, unless you like flour confetti all over your kitchen. Mix until everything's well combined and starting to smell amazing.
  • Fold in those dreamy white chocolate chips. Do a little happy dance, this is the part where it all starts to look like cookie dough!
  • Put a little vegetable oil on your hands (just a dab) to help with the sticky dough. Roll the dough into little balls, about the size of a ping pong ball, and space them out on your baking sheet.
  • Bake those beauties for 10-12 minutes. You’re looking for golden edges and soft centers. Don’t overbake, soft is the goal here!
  • Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes (if you can wait that long without sneaking one), then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
