Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
Cream the butter and both sugars with an electric mixer, scraping down the sides of the bowl often. Add the vanilla and eggs; beat until eggs are mixed in.
Add the lemon pudding and flour mixture to the batter and stir until it is almost fully mixed in. Add oatmeal and continue stirring until flour disappears. Stir in lemon zest and white chocolate chips.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly brown. Transfer the baked cookes to a cooling rack and cool completely.
Notes:
Do NOT make the pudding. You are only going to use the dry mix.
Feel free to add a few drops of yellow food coloring if you want the cookies to be yellow.
For extra lemon flavor, add some lemon extract.
I use quick-cook oatmeal for the oatmeal in the cookies. I do not recommend instant oatmeal.
One cup of all-purpose flour weighs 4.25-ounces. To properly measure flour, give the flour a stir to loosen it up in the container. Use a spoon and lightly spoon the flour into your measuring cup. Use a flat straight edge (like the straight back of a knife) to level off the top of the flour in the measuring cup. Do NOT compact the flour in the measuring cup.

To freeze the unbaked cookie dough, scoop the dough and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer. Once the dough is frozen, transfer cookie dough balls to a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for 3 to 6 months.
When ready to bake cookies, simply add a few minutes to the cooking time.
To freeze baked cookies, allow the cookies to cool completely and place them in a freezer bag. Place the bag in the freezer. The cookies will keep about 3 months in the freezer.
