Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3.4 oz pistachio instant pudding mix (one small box)
  • 1 package sugar cookie mix (approx. 15.25 oz)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cookie bars.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, eggs, and pistachio instant pudding mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the pudding is well incorporated.
  3. Add Dry Mix: Gradually add the sugar cookie mix to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a sticky dough forms that can be pressed into a pan.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet thoroughly, then evenly press the sticky dough into the pan spreading it out to cover the entire surface and edges.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie bars become lightly golden, indicating they are done.
  6. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan to set properly before slicing.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, cut the cookie dough into squares or bars of your desired size and serve as a delicious treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing and better texture.
  • You can use any brand of pistachio instant pudding mix available in stores.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely to avoid crumbling when sliced.
  • Optionally, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top before baking for added crunch and decoration.
