Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Ensure it's softened for easy mixing.
  • 2 Large Eggs Use at room temperature for best results.
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) Pistachio Instant Pudding Mix Choose one with natural flavors for the best taste.
  • 1 package Sugar Cookie Mix No need for additional sugar.
For Greasing the Pan
  • 1 as needed Cooking Spray or Butter This prevents the bars from sticking.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, large eggs, and pistachio instant pudding mix using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the sugar cookie mix, mixing until just combined; this should take about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray or butter. Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the center remains soft.
  6. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting.
