Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 3.4 oz pistachio instant pudding mix
- 1 package sugar cookie mix
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Begin by setting your oven to preheat at 375F (190C), allowing it to reach the desired temperature while you prepare the cookie dough.
- Step 2: Cream the Base Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly cream together the softened unsalted butter, eggs, and pistachio pudding mix. Continue mixing until you achieve a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Step 3: Incorporate the Cookie Mix
- Gradually add the sugar cookie mix to the creamy base. Mix steadily until all ingredients are well combined and a sticky dough is formed.
- Step 4: Prepare the Baking Sheet
- Lightly grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet, then press the dough evenly across the pan, making sure it extends to all edges.
- Step 5: Bake the Cookie Bars
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the dough until the edges turn a light golden brown. This should typically take about 15-20 minutes, but always watch to ensure it does not overbake.
- Step 6: Cooling and Slicing
- Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let it cool completely. When the cookie sheet is cool, slice the large cookie into individual bars.
