Chunky Monkey Cookies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup melted coconut oil
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- one 3.5-ounce packet instant banana pudding mix (use vanilla if you don't want banana flavor)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of kosher salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Beat oil, sugars, egg and vanilla medium until combined.
- Add the flour, pudding mix,baking soda and salt. Beat just till combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Use your hands to form about 12 balls of dough. It's a litte tricky to work the doug so just press tightly together and stick in any resistant chips.
- Chill this dough for 30 mins in freezer, covered or place in fridge to chill for a few hours.
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment. Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake-they will finish baking as they cool on sheet.

Sara says
What is instant banana/vanilla pudding mix?? Is it like “angel delight” or blancmange or?? Can you suggest any other healthy alternatives please?
Tina G. says
Just mash up an over ripe banana or 2, I never follow the recipe. I don’t like the way artificial banana tastes. I also substitute all sugar with honey, & cows milk with almond milk. It’s really easy to fix a recipe; the original is just a base to play with & mold to your liking.
Debbie says
Where do you get coconut oil, I’ve never heard of it.
danielle says
Whole foods!
Tammy Berkebile says
You can buy it at Walmart but Sam’s Club has the best price. It is so healthy for you, please google it to learn more. I replace the butter and oils in my baking. The cookies, cakes, and breads are so moist.
Gene says
COSTCO
Kourtney says
My husband is allergic to everything coconut! Can I substitute something else for that part?
danielle says
You can use butter instead.
Tina G. says
Vegetable oil works as well
Myriam says
I can’t find the pudding mix, could I substitute that with something else? Or could I just make them without it?
danielle says
hmm not sure on that, sorry
Tina G. says
Use over ripe bananas instead.
Jasmine says
these look so good, but what if we don’t have parchment paper? All I have is foil at the moment.
danielle says
Have you ever baked cookies on foil? If it has worked with others, it should be just fine!
disgruntled says
This is the worst chocolate chip cookie I have ever had. The picture looks wonderful but the cookies that are produced from this recipe do not look anything like it. The cookies come out looking like large, pale balls with chocolate chips. I wanted something like the picture and it didn’t even come close. The cookies taste like sweet paste. They are cooked through but taste like paste. I followed the directions exactly…very poor cookies and a waste of money and ingredients.

Hmm not sure what went wrong for you. Are you sure you followed the recipe exactly? The picture is from the exact printed recipe and it always gets rave reviews! Could your oven possibly working at a diff temp?
Ginny Driscoll says
I wanted to print this recipe – only – and got 1/2 page of recipe and 3 1/2 pages of pictures. Way too many pictures, one would be enough. Waste of paper and ink. Can anything be done to remedy this? Thanks.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
There should be a box to check to eliminate all pics.
Ginny Driscoll says
Completely missed that, thanks for your help. It is appreciated!
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Hmm, I am sorry they didn’t work out for you!
Cookie says
can these be made in 9×13 pan as bars?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Hmm, never tried.
mary says

Lynn says
These look amazing, thanks!
