Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 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 Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir everything until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing down slightly to create a uniform thickness.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges become golden brown and the center is set but still moist.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your chewy, chocolate-studded cookie bars!
Notes
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, even squares.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips according to preference.
- For an extra crunch, try mixing in chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
- Store leftover cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
