Preheat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat both sugars, pudding mix, eggs, and vanilla until creamy and well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking soda. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the wet mix until just combined. Gently stir in the white chocolate chips.
Using a medium-size cookie scoop, drop batter onto the prepared cookie sheets about 3 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
How to store cookies
Allow the cookies to cool completely. Place the cookies in an airtight container or large zip-top bag in single layers with a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper between the layers. Store them in a cool, dark place, and be sure to use them within 5-7 days.
How to freeze cookies
RAW DOUGH: Place scoops of cookie dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then, place the baking sheet in the freezer for thirty minutes to an hour. When firm, transfer the dough to a large zip-top bag or freezer-safe container. Bake from frozen, adding 3-5 minutes longer than the recipe calls for. For best results, be sure to use them within 6 months.BAKED COOKIES: Allow the cookies to cool completely. Place the cookies in an airtight container or large zip-top bag in single layers with a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper between the layers. Freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw frozen cookies by removing them from the container and placing them in a single layer on a clean plate or baking sheet until they come to room temperature.
