Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter Softened; use dairy-free butter for a vegan alternative.
- 2 large Large Eggs Provides moisture and binding.
- 3.4 oz Pistachio Instant Pudding Mix Check expiration for freshness.
- 1 package Sugar Cookie Mix Simplifies the process.
- 1 tablespoon Cooking Spray or Butter Grease the baking sheet.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures an even bake for your cookie bars.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter, making it easier to remove the bars later.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated into the butter mixture.
- Add the pistachio instant pudding mix to the bowl, stirring until well combined.
- Gradually add the sugar cookie mix, stirring until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into bars for serving.
Notes
Ensure your butter is softened, do not overmix the dough, and check for doneness with a toothpick. Adding chopped pistachios on top can enhance flavor and texture.
