Description

Delight in these easy-to-make Pistachio Pudding Sugar Cookie Bars, combining the rich flavor of pistachio instant pudding with classic sugar cookie dough for a soft, flavorful treat perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

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


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cookie bars.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, eggs, and pistachio pudding mix. Use an electric mixer to blend these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Add Dry Mix: Add the sugar cookie mix to the bowl with the wet ingredients and continue mixing until a sticky dough forms, ensuring all components are well incorporated.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet to prevent sticking, then spread the sticky dough evenly across the surface, smoothing it out for uniform baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookie bars for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the top begins to brown slightly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the cookie bars to cool completely on the baking sheet before slicing into 12 bars and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is properly softened for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Use an electric mixer for a smooth batter and even ingredient distribution.
  • Allow bars to cool fully to ensure clean slicing and better bar structure.
  • Store bars in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
  • For a nuttier flavor, consider adding chopped pistachios on top before baking.
