Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, large eggs, and pistachio instant pudding mix. Cream until smooth and well-blended, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually mix in the sugar cookie mix into the creamed mixture. Stir gently to avoid overmixing, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Lightly grease a 10x15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Evenly press the sticky dough into the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes.
  7. Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 30-45 minutes, before slicing.
