My husband’s favorite dessert is Banana Cream Pie. I wanted to make him his favorite treat, but didn’t have all the ingredients to put together a pie.
These Banana Cream Pudding Cookies have all the flavor of a Banana Cream Pie without all the work – they are so easy to make and are failproof!
The secret ingredient is a package of banana instant pudding. They are soft and chewy because of the pudding mix and full of banana flavor. I also added a mashed banana to really take that banana flavor over the top!
We love using pudding mixes in our cookies – be sure to check out our Lemon Cheesecake Pudding Cookies and our Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies.
Ingredients needed for Banana Pudding Cookies

Tips for making Banana Pudding Cookies
The pudding mix is added to the recipe unprepared, in its powdered form. This really is the secret ingredient for a soft cookie that will still hold its shape.
I love using a Kitchen Aid to mix this dough together. It creams the sugars and butter and pudding mix together perfectly!
I used a medium sized cookie scoop for these cookies. I like that they are the perfect shape and all the same size when you use a scoop.
I also use a silicone baking liner to help to cook evenly and get crisp on the bottom but stay soft on the inside!
(Here’s a little blogger’s tip: save a few of the chocolate chips to put on each cookie before they go into the oven – that’s how you get perfect chocolate chips arranged on the top of a cookie!)
Mix up your mix-ins
- Milk, dark, or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Butterscotch chips (so good with the banana flavor!)
- Chocolate toffee bits (Heath bits)
- Chopped pecans
- Chopped walnuts
- Top with powdered sugar
- Crushed up Nilla wafers
The pudding makes them a little sweeter, so I would suggest using dark chocolate chips instead of milk!
