Step-by-Step Instructions for Pistachio Dream Cookie Bars

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and have a greased 10 x 15-inch baking sheet ready.
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, large eggs, and pistachio instant pudding mix. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the sugar cookie mix to your creamed mixture, stirring gently until a sticky dough forms.
Grease your 10 x 15-inch baking sheet thoroughly with cooking spray or butter. Press the cookie dough evenly into the corners.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until edges are golden and center sets.
Allow to cool completely on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before slicing.
Optionally, drizzle with melted chocolate for added flavor.
