Description

These Cake Mix Cookie Bars are the ultimate sweet fix, chewy, rich, and insanely easy to throw together with just a few ingredients. A perfect treat for any time you’re craving a quick dessert that delivers big flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

1 box cake mix (choose your favorite flavor)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup chocolate chips or mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit
Optional: powdered sugar for topping

Instructions

Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs until just combined. Don’t overdo it!
Mix in chocolate chips or your choice of add-ins such as walnuts, dried cherries, or sprinkles.
Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bars cool in the pan. For best results, allow them to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

Experiment with different cake mix flavors like lemon, red velvet, or funfetti. For a flavor boost, swirl in a bit of peanut butter or Nutella before baking. These bars freeze well, perfect for make-ahead dessert prep!
