White Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookie Bars

 For a recipe I put together on a whim, this is a really great one. This cookie bar recipe came as a request from my husband. He loves white chocolate chips and pistachios, so when I asked his opinion about what kind cookies I should make today, he asked for this. I've never baked with pistachios, in fact, up until very recently, I've never eaten one. But they complemented the white chocolate chips very nicely. And the fact that this is made with a cake mix, makes it a very easy recipe.
