Banana Pudding Cookies are a classic banana cookie recipe with a twist! They have a great soft, chewy texture that comes from banana pudding mix as well as an entire banana in the dough. Banana cream pie lovers- you’ve got to try these banana cookies!

Banana Pudding Cookies are soft, sweet with a lovely banana flavor. This great flavor comes from a ripe banana as well as a box of instant banana pudding mix. These banana cookies are super simple to make and everyone loves the end result. I used white chocolate chips but I’ve heard that semi sweet chocolate chips or even butterscotch chips taste amazing! So get creative and enjoy our banana cookies recipe!

Banana Pudding Cookies really do have the best flavor! My husband loves banana cream pies. Since I don’t always have the time to whip up a pie (but I always have time for cookies ha ha) when I heard about this recipe I was excited to try something new. Especially if it would be an easy way to satisfy his craving and my love of cookies – which it totally did! Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Tips to get the PERFECT Banana Cookies:

Three kitchen items make these cookies come together really fast. I actually use these items in nearly every cookie recipe I make, so they’re quite versatile. First, I line my cookie sheets with a piece of parchment paper. They’re sold in sizes that fit a 12×16 cookie sheet perfectly and enable to cookies to bake well without sticking- and no mess from spraying oil on the cookie sheets!

The second item is a KitchenAid mixer. I love mine! I have a Bosch as well but I find I use my KitchenAid for cookies. There is a cookie paddle that comes with every mixer that you attach to the top of the mixer. They’re easy to use and help you mix the ingredients uniformly. I also use the metal whisk attachment in this recipe to make the frosting. It whips it up super fast! Add this to your wish list because it’s one of my all-time used small appliances ever!

The third item is a cookie scoop! Years and years ago I used to use 2 spoons to measure and scrape cookie dough onto the pans. It wasn’t a perfect process and I often ended up with oblong cookies in various sizes. A friend of mine brought cookies to a party and I noticed each and every one of her cookies looked PERFECT. Her secret? A cookie scoop! They come in three sizes- 1/2 tablespoon, 1.5 tablespoon and 3 tablespoon scoops. I used the middle size- 1.5 tablespoon for these, and most other cookies. (Although when I’m serving a large crowd, I use the small cookie scoop. People love having a smaller cookie, especially at an event with several other desserts. For this Banana Cookie recipe, I used the middle scoop.
