Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Ingredients:
- 1 Box Yellow Cake Mix (13.25 ounces)
- 2 Large Eggs
- ½ Cup Vegetable Oil
- ⅓ Cup Water
- ¾ Cup Chocolate Chips + Extra for topping
Items Needed:
- 9×13 Baking Pan
- Larger Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Cups (both liquid and solid)
- Rubber Spatula
- Nonstick Cooking Spray
- Mixer (hand or stand mixer)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9×13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

- Fold in ¾ cup of chocolate chips gently using a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake for 24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out just barely gooey. Remember, they’ll continue to cook a bit after you take them out of the oven.
- Cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes before slicing. This helps them set and hold together better.
- Slice into bars, serve, and enjoy the gooey goodness!
Tips:
- After adding chocolate chips, avoid using the mixer to keep the texture just right.
- For thicker bars, use a smaller baking pan, reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake a bit longer.
- Double-check your cake mix size; variations in size may affect baking time.
- Don’t overdo it with chocolate chips; too many can make the bars crumbly.
- Let them cool adequately before slicing to avoid messy bars.
- Embrace the soft, chewy texture—after all, that’s what makes these cookie bars delightful!
