Ingredients

  • For the Cookies:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed

  2. Cream butter & sugars: In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
  3. Add wet ingredients: Mix in egg, mashed banana, and vanilla until combined.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and dry banana pudding mix.
  5. Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in crushed vanilla wafers and chocolate chips (if using).
  6. Scoop dough: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Sprinkle extra crushed wafers on top if desired.
