FAQ
Can I use overripe bananas for this recipe?
Absolutely! Overripe bananas are perfect for this recipe as they add extra sweetness and moisture to the cookies.
What type of banana pudding should I use?
Because the recipe calls for mixing the banana pudding into the flour dry, it’s best to use a premade banana pudding mix. I used Jello banana cream pudding for this recipe.
Can I substitute the white chocolate chips with another type of chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute with milk, dark, or even caramel chips, but keep in mind that it will slightly alter the flavor profile of the cookies.

Store your Banana Pudding Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
