Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pistachio Dream Cookie Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients and equipment, including a large mixing bowl, a spatula, and a greased baking sheet.
  2. In your large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, large eggs, and pistachio pudding mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Gradually add in the sugar cookie mix, stirring with your spatula until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Grease your baking sheet with cooking spray or butter, and evenly press the sticky dough into the prepared pan.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  6. Remove the cookie bars from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Consider drizzling melted chocolate on top or enjoy them as is. Slice into bars and serve.
