Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Sprinkle in the instant vanilla pudding mix and mix until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in white chocolate chips and M&M's, reserving some M&M's for topping.
  6. Scoop the dough onto ungreased baking sheets and bake for about 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Notes

Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can enhance flavors and control spreading.
