Looking for a simple delicious Banana Pudding Cookie Recipe? You've never had one? Well, wait until you try it. It is the best of both worlds. It's a soft, chewy cookie that tastes like you are eating banana pudding without the spoon. What more could you ask for? You want it to be healthy too. Well, these cookies are only 104 cookies for every 2 cookies.
Preheat the oven to 350º F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or a nonstick baking mat.
In a small bowl, mash the bananas together with the baking soda, and set aside until ready to use.
In a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, cream together the butter, yogurt, and sugar.
Beat in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, dry pudding mix, and salt. Add half of the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, mix to combine, then add the remaining dry mix.
With the mixer on the lowest setting, fold in the previously set-aside mashed bananas.
Scoop 24 heaping tablespoons (about 1½ tablespoon measure) on the prepared baking sheets and bake until slightly golden, 8-10 minutes.
Transfer to a cooling rack, and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before eating.
