Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the desired temperature while you prepare your ingredients.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, large eggs, and pistachio pudding mix. Blend together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually incorporate the sugar cookie mix into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a sticky dough forms, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet and spread the sticky dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
