BANANA CREAM PIE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugars and butter, until well mixed, and light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
• Add in eggs, vanilla, and mix until just combined.
• Add in the flour, pudding mix, salt and baking soda. Stir in completely until you have a nice soft dough.
• Fold the graham cracker pieces and white chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
• Scoop the cookie dough into 2 Tablespoon sized scoops, and roll them into smooth balls.
• Place about 8 cookie balls, on to each prepared baking sheet. Place them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes until lightly golden on the sides, and the tops are just barely set. They might not look all the way done.
• Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for about 8 minutes on the cookie sheet, as they'll keep cooking as they are there. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

• Stir in 1/4 cup milk and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
