Pistachio Dream Cookie Bars
Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 3.4 oz pistachio instant pudding mix
- 1 package sugar cookie mix (usually around 17.5 oz)
- Optional: Chopped pistachios for topping (if you want extra crunch)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar cookie mix until smooth.
- Add the eggs and pistachio instant pudding mix and mix until combined. The dough will be thick.
-
Spread the Dough:
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing it down with the back of a spoon to smooth out the surface.
-
Bake the Bars:
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Slice:
- Let the bars cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before slicing them into squares or bars.
-
Optional Topping:
- If you’d like extra texture and flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped pistachios on top of the bars right after baking, while they’re still warm.
Tips:
- Texture: These bars have a soft, chewy texture. If you prefer a slightly firmer cookie bar, you can bake them a little longer, but be careful not to overbake.
- Variation: Add a handful of white chocolate chips or even mini chocolate chips for a fun twist!
These Pistachio Dream Cookie Bars are incredibly easy to make and will be a hit with anyone who loves pistachios or soft, buttery cookies. Enjoy! 🌰🍪
