Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
Gradually add the sugar cookie mix, mixing until just combined; this should take about 1-2 minutes.
Grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray or butter. Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the center remains soft.
Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for smoother dough. Avoid overmixing to retain softness and chewiness. Cool completely in the pan before slicing to prevent crumbling.
