Ingredients
  

1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 medium bananas)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup instant vanilla pudding mix (dry, not prepared)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers (for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

      Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and instant pudding mix.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Incorporate Add-ins: Fold in the mini chocolate chips and crushed vanilla wafers, if using.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center may appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

                  Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Enjoy these delightful cookies as a sweet treat paired with milk or your favorite beverage!
