Cake Mix Cookie Bars
Description
This recipe transforms yellow cake mix into cookie bars by combining it with eggs and melted butter, which provide moisture and richness. Semi-sweet chocolate chips folded into the batter create pockets of creamy chocolate throughout. Pressing the thick batter into a greased 9x13 inch pan ensures even baking and a consistent texture.
Baked at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, the bars develop a golden crust with a tender interior. The completed bars hold their shape but remain soft enough for an enjoyable chewy bite. These bars make convenient portions for dessert or snacks and can be sliced warm or after cooling.
Thanks to the cake mix base, these cookie bars require less active preparation than scratch cookies, making them a practical choice for quick baking without sacrificing flavor or texture.
Ingredients
- 1 box 15.25 ounce yellow cake mix
- 2 egg large
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 12 ounces chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry cake mix with the melted butter and eggs until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter into greased baking pan (it will be thick!). Tip: lightly coat a spatula or your clean hand with cooking spray or vegetable oil and press the dough down into the pan.
- Bake the cookie bars at 350F for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool for 10-15 minutes, then slice into squares to serve.
