Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup salted butter softened at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 whole large eggs
1 package lemon pudding mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

In a large bowl with an electric mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter until smooth. Add the sugars and mix until light and fluffy. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Add in pudding mix and lemon zest. Continue to beat until combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, together.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix again just until dough has formed. Add white chocolate chips to the dough and mix again.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a mini ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons of dough, form into dough balls. Bake for 12-15 minutes or just until the edges are a very light golden brown. Let cookies cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
