Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix (any brand)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1/2 ounce (14 grams) bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350℉ and lightly coat an 8″x8″ square pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Carefully liquify the butter, then whisk thoroughly with eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous.
- Gradually incorporate the cake mix into the butter-egg blend, stirring meticulously to create a uniform, lump-free batter.
- Generously fold the entire bag of chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Gently spread the cookie dough across the prepared pan, creating an even layer that reaches all corners.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookie bars rest in the pan, allowing them to completely cool and set for optimal cutting and texture.
- Slice into square portions and complement with a chilled beverage or creamy ice cream for a delightful dessert experience.
Notes
- Optimize butter melting by using short bursts in the microwave, stirring between each interval to prevent overheating and ensure smooth consistency.
- Consider using gluten-free cake mix to transform these cookies into a celiac-friendly dessert without compromising taste or texture.
- Experiment with mix-ins like chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or dried fruit to create unique flavor variations and personalize the recipe.
- Cool cookies completely in the refrigerator for cleaner, more precise square cuts and a firmer texture that holds together beautifully.
