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 prepare for baking the cookie bars.
- Beat Eggs: In a small bowl, beat the 2 eggs thoroughly to combine the yolks and whites.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the yellow cake mix and olive oil to the beaten eggs, stirring well to form a thick batter.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the 12 ounces of chocolate chips; the batter will become very thick and sticky.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9 X 13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking; note that the thick batter will require some effort to spread evenly.
- Spread Batter: Spread the thick batter evenly in the prepared baking dish, taking your time to cover the surface uniformly.
- Bake: Bake the cookie bars at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Store: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares. Store leftover cookie bars in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- The batter will be very thick and sticky, so take your time when spreading it evenly in the baking dish.
- You can substitute vegetable oil for olive oil if preferred.
- Ensure the cookie bars cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- These bars can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
