Banana Pudding Cookies
If there is one word I can use to describe these banana pudding cookies, it’s INCREDIBLE! Don’t get me wrong; I love all sorts of cookies like chocolate chip, peanut butter, and pretty much anything else you can dream up. However, something about these banana pudding cookies calls my name and makes me feel like a kid.
When you bite into these banana cookies, you are hit with an intense banana flavor from real bananas and banana pudding. They are soft and chewy. One thing that makes the cookies even better is the white chocolate chips. Everything tastes better with some chocolate added to it! I love the flavor of white chocolate, but you could also use semi-sweet or dark chocolate if you would rather. Indeed there is no wrong way to enjoy these cookies because they are truly that amazing. But, you should try them for yourself to see how fantastic they are.
Take a batch or two of these banana cookies to a potluck, and you’ll be the belle of the ball. They are also lovely gifts for new people that move into your area or someone that just had a new bundle of joy. Either way, these cookies are a hit!
Can I Freeze This Cookie Dough?
Yes, you can easily freeze this cookie dough recipe. You can save the cookie dough in several different ways. You can make it into cookie dough balls and flash freeze them on a baking sheet for 2 hours. Once they have frozen, you can place them into a plastic freezer bag. This is my favorite way to freeze the cookie dough because then when you are ready to bake them, you can just place them on a baking sheet and let them thaw. Bake as directed, and they will be perfection.
Another option is to roll the dough into a log using plastic wrap. Then you can freeze the entire log. This is helpful too because you can slice off a cookie or two and bake what you want. Either way making an extra batch of cookie dough is a great idea to have cookies on hand all the time!
Not only can you freeze the cookie dough, but you can also freeze the baked banana cookies too. Let them cool all the way to room temperature and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or a container with a lid. They will last 2-3 months in the freezer. Then when you want to eat, some just take them from the freezer and let them warm up for a few minutes then indulge.
Can I Use These Banana Pudding Cookies in a Real Banana Pudding?
Yes, using these banana pudding cookies is a great way to enhance real banana pudding. Traditional banana pudding recipes call for a wafer cookie. While these cookies aren’t wafers, they are LOADED with amazing flavor and are the perfect texture for banana pudding. Try it, and you will be hooked forever.
