• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup banana pudding mix (instant)
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
10. 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.
