Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 (3.4 oz / 96g) box instant banana cream pudding mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (180g) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add Pudding Mix: Stir in the instant banana cream pudding mix until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Fold in White Chocolate Chips: Use a spatula to gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Scoop and Bake: Scoop dough onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft.
- Cool and Serve: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use instant pudding mix — not cook-and-serve — for soft, chewy cookies.
- Chill dough for 20–30 minutes if it’s too soft or your kitchen is warm.
- Underbake slightly for the best texture; cookies will firm as they cool.
- Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
- Variations: Add nuts, swap in milk chocolate chips, or drizzle with melted white chocolate.
