Banana Pudding Cookies Delight

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mashed ripe bananas with 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of vanilla pudding mix, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s perfectly fine if some lumps remain.
Step 5: Fold in the Mix-Ins
Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of vegan mini marshmallows, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (if using), and 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6: Scoop and Bake
