Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together.
Mash the ripe banana and add it to the butter mixture, followed by the banana cream pudding mix and eggs. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the banana mixture and mix until just incorporated.
Stir in the white chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scoop, place rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden around the edges.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

If you prefer a different flavor, swap the white chocolate chips for semi-sweet chocolate chips or butterscotch chips.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour.
For a vegan version, use vegan butter and substitute the eggs with a flaxseed mixture or egg substitute, and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
If you want to make these cookies larger, use a larger scoop and adjust the baking time by a few minutes.
