Banana Pudding Cookies are perfectly soft and chewy and packed with the delicious flavors of white chocolate and banana pudding. If you love banana, these are for you!
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla extract and egg and mix until smooth.
Add the dry pudding mix, salt, baking soda, and flour and mix well. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the refrigerated dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up the dough.
Remove cookie sheets from the refrigerator. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.
Remove cookies from the oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
