Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup banana pudding mix (instant)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and mashed banana. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and banana pudding mix.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take a tablespoonful of chilled cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat the process with the remaining cookie dough.
- Once the cookies have cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
