Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3.4 ounces pistachio instant pudding mix

Dry Ingredients

  • 17.5 ounces Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 10×15 inch baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, eggs, and pistachio instant pudding mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Make Dough: Gradually add the Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix to the wet ingredients and blend until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Prepare Pan: Spread the dough evenly into the greased 10×15 inch baking sheet, smoothing the top with a spatula or your hands.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are brown and the top starts to develop a light golden color.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or bars.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Do not overbake to maintain chewy texture.
  • For extra pistachio flavor, consider sprinkling chopped pistachios on top before baking.
  • Store cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
