Ingredients


Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla wafer crumbs. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and mashed banana until fully incorporated.

  5. 5

    Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but scoopable.

  6. 6

    Gently fold in marshmallows and white chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed without melting the marshmallows.

  7. 7

    Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop 2-tablespoon-sized dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.

  8. 8

    Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft. Avoid overbaking; marshmallows should stay gooey.

  9. 9

    Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.


Notes

Tips for Success

  • Use a fully ripe banana with brown spots for maximum sweetness and banana flavor.
  • Chop mini marshmallows in halves or quarters to prevent them from melting completely into the dough.
