Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (about 15.25 oz) Yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan and press it evenly into the corners and edges using a spatula or clean hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks set.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookie bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
