Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 3.4 oz pistachio instant pudding mix
Dry Ingredients
- 1 package sugar cookie mix
Other
- Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the baking sheet)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the cookie bars.
- Cream the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, eggs, and pistachio instant pudding mix. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the dry ingredients: Gradually mix in the sugar cookie mix by stirring gently until a sticky dough forms.
- Prepare the baking pan: Grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Press the dough into the pan: Evenly press the sticky dough into the greased baking sheet for uniform thickness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden brown.
- Cool the bars: Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack to let the bars set.
- Slice and serve: Once cooled, cut the cookie dough into bars or squares and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before mixing for best results.
- Do not overbake to keep the bars chewy and moist.
- Allow the bars to cool fully before slicing to avoid crumbling.
- You can substitute cooking spray with melted butter if preferred for greasing.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for maximum freshness.
