Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 15 ounce box of yellow cake mix
- 12 oz chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1/3 cup olive oil (or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the cookie bars evenly.
- Beat eggs: In a small bowl, beat the two eggs thoroughly until smooth to help bind the ingredients together in the batter.
- Combine ingredients: Add the yellow cake mix and olive oil to the beaten eggs, mixing well to create a thick batter base.
- Incorporate chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips carefully; the batter will be thick and sticky at this stage.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Spread batter: Evenly spread the thick batter into the prepared baking dish, taking several minutes to ensure it’s distributed uniformly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bars are fully cooked.
- Cool and store: Allow the cookie bars to cool completely before cutting into squares. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- The batter will be very thick and sticky; use a spatula to help spread evenly in the pan.
- You can substitute olive oil with vegetable oil if preferred.
- For a variation, try mixing in nuts or other types of chocolate chips.
- Ensure the bars cool properly to cut cleanly without crumbling.
