Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 3.4 oz pistachio instant pudding mix
- 1 package sugar cookie mix (about 15.25 oz)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure the right baking temperature for even cooking and golden edges.
- Cream the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, eggs, and pistachio pudding mix. Beat until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, creating a flavorful base for the dough.
- Combine with Sugar Cookie Mix: Gradually add the sugar cookie mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms. Make sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Spread the Dough: Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking sheet, pressing to the edges for uniform thickness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Monitor closely to avoid overbaking.
- Cool and Slice: Remove from oven and allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, slice into squares or rectangles for serving.
Notes
- To ensure soft cookie bars, do not overbake; edges should be just golden.
- For easier cutting, chill the bars briefly after cooling.
- Use parchment paper for less cleanup and easier removal.
- Substitute pistachio pudding with another flavor for variation.
