Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and banana pudding mix until well combined.
