If you’ve seen my Banana Pudding recipe, you already know that Banana Pudding is my all-time favorite dessert. One day, I thought, why not turn that delicious flavor into a cookie? Inspired by the Cake Mix Cookies from the First Year Blog, I decided to give it a try. My first attempt was a bit of a flop—the cookies turned out so soft that you needed a spoon to eat them! So, I turned to one of my favorite bakers, Beth from the First Year Blog, and after tweaking the ratios a bit, I’ve finally perfected the recipe. I can’t wait for you to try it!

Banana Pudding Cake Mix Cookies
Yield
Yields 12-15* cookies
Base Cookie Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray with nonstick spray.
- Mash banana. In a liquid measuring cup, mash banana until it reaches 3 tbsp. Add 2 tbsp vegetable oil to reach a total of 5 tbsp liquid.
- Mix dough. In a large bowl, stir together 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz), 2 eggs, and the banana–oil mixture until combined (the dough will be soft).
- Add wafers. Fold in the crushed vanilla wafers.
- Scoop cookies. Use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and lightly golden.
- Cool. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- These cookies are naturally quite sweet, but you can drizzle a vanilla or banana glaze over them if you prefer.
- The total number of cookies will depend on the size of your dough balls, so be sure to adjust the baking time if you’re making smaller or larger cookies.
- For best texture, chill the dough for 15–20 minutes before baking to reduce spreading.
- Add-ins like nuts, mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut can give the cookies more structure.
- Don’t overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container; for softer cookies, seal tightly, or leave slightly ajar for crisp edges.
