Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant pistachio pudding mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined.
