You can use any flavor of cake mix and add in different mix ins. There are so many flavor possibilities that you could make with this recipe as a base.

I have made them for birthday parties, Christmas, dinner gatherings, graduations, and more. Basically any time I am asked to bring a dessert!

You can find the full recipe and instructions at the bottom of this post, but here’s what you’ll need to make it.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• yellow cake mix: or any flavor cake mix
• eggs
• oil: any neutral oil like olive oil or vegetable oil
• chocolate chips

How to make cake mix cookie bars

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Beat the eggs in a small bowl. Add the cake mix and oil to the beaten eggs and mix well to combine.

Step 2: Beat in the chocolate chips (the batter will be very thick).

Step 3: Grease a 9 X 13 baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the cookie bar batter evenly in the dish (this will take several minutes to spread evenly).

Recipe Tip

Use wet or greased hands or a rubber spatula to spread the batter into the dish. The batter is very thick and this will make it a little easier to spread!

Step 4: Bake the cookie bars at 350 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once cooled, cut the cookie bars into squares.

Serve warm with ice cream for an extra delicious treat!

If you’ve never made these before, you will be surprised at just how good they are!

The texture of these bars is the thickness of a brownie with the taste of a chocolate chip cookie. They’re just so fun to eat and really satisfying and thick and chocolatey.

Storing

Leftover cake mix bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, if they last that long!

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Notes

1. The batter will be thick and hard to spread (this is normal). I found that using a rubber spatula and a spoon made it easier to spread into the pan. It may take a couple minutes, but it’s so worth it!
2. The thickness of the cookie bars will depend on how large of a baking dish you use.
