Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Bar Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3.4 oz pistachio instant pudding mix
  • 1 package sugar cookie mix (about 15.25 oz)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure it’s at the ideal temperature when your dough is ready.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, eggs, and pistachio instant pudding mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy, providing the base for the flavorful dough.
  3. Add Cookie Mix: Gradually stir in the sugar cookie mix until a sticky and cohesive dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well combined without overmixing.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet thoroughly to prevent sticking. Press the sticky dough evenly into the pan, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden, indicating the bars are baked through.
  6. Cool Completely: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan to set properly before cutting.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, cut the cookie slab into squares or bars. Serve as a delightful snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is fully softened to ensure smooth mixing of ingredients.
  • Press dough evenly to guarantee uniform baking and texture.
  • Cooling completely before slicing prevents crumbling or breaking apart.
  • For an extra pistachio touch, consider sprinkling chopped pistachios on top before baking.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
