Base Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 bag (12 oz) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and well-blended.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips gently into the batter to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly to create a uniform layer.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Bake until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set but still moist.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy your homemade cookie bars!
Notes
- You can substitute the yellow cake mix with a white or even chocolate cake mix for a different flavor.
- For a nutty twist, add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans into the batter along with the chocolate chips.
- If you prefer a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the bars by a couple of minutes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
