Delicious Banana Pudding Cookies with Caramelized Bananas

These cookies feature a soft and chewy texture, enhanced by the addition of caramelized bananas and brown sugar. The recipe yields about 24 cookies and takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare and bake.

Ingredients

• 1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 medium bananas)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vanilla pudding mix (instant)
• 1/2 cup caramelized banana slices (from about 1 banana)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Caramelize the Bananas: In a skillet over medium heat, add sliced bananas with a little butter and brown sugar. Cook until golden and caramelized, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla pudding mix.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the caramelized banana slices and chocolate chips if using.
6. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
