Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter, then line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
Step 3
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Step 4
4. Add the pistachio pudding mix and sugar cookie mix to the bowl. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together and no dry ingredients remain visible. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
Step 5
5. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press the dough evenly into the pan, making sure it reaches all corners.
Step 6
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Step 7
7. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, using the parchment overhang, lift the bars out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
8. Once completely cooled, cut into 16 equal bars using a sharp knife. For clean cuts, wipe the knife between slices.
