Ingredients

For the Batter

½ cup unsalted butter Provides rich flavor and moisture; substitute with margarine for a dairy-free option.
2 large eggs Acts as a binder and adds structure; can be replaced with flax eggs for a vegan alternative.
3.4 oz pistachio instant pudding mix Infuses flavor and aids in achieving a creamy texture; use other instant pudding flavors like vanilla or chocolate for variation.
1 package sugar cookie mix Base structure of the bars; consider a gluten-free sugar cookie mix for a gluten-free version.
