Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 package (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) instant banana pudding mix
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie preparation.
- Create a smooth, airy base by thoroughly blending softened butter and sugar until the mixture transforms into a light, creamy consistency.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the ingredients harmonize completely. Gently fold in the mashed bananas to infuse natural sweetness.
- In a separate container, combine the dry ingredients – flour, banana pudding mix, baking soda, and salt – using a whisk to ensure even distribution.
- Gradually integrate the dry ingredient mixture into the banana mixture, stirring delicately to maintain a soft, cohesive dough.
- Gently fold white chocolate chips and crushed vanilla wafer crumbs into the dough, distributing them evenly for maximum flavor complexity.
- Using a tablespoon, carefully portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, positioning each cookie with sufficient spacing to allow for spreading.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake until the cookie edges achieve a delicate golden hue, indicating perfect doneness.
- Allow the freshly baked cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a brief cooling period before transferring them to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Once fully cooled, the cookies are ready to be enjoyed, offering a delightful blend of banana, vanilla, and white chocolate flavors.
Notes
- Crumbled vanilla wafers add a surprising crunch that transports you back to childhood memories of creamy banana pudding.
- White chocolate chips melt perfectly, creating pockets of sweet richness that complement the banana’s natural sweetness.
