Description

Lazy chocolate chip cookies promise pure indulgence without complex preparation. Minimal effort delivers maximum flavor, making these treats perfect for spontaneous sweet cravings you’ll savor.


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

  1. Warm the oven to 350℉ and lightly coat an 8″x8″ square pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Carefully liquify the butter, then whisk thoroughly with eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Gradually incorporate the cake mix into the butter-egg blend, stirring meticulously to create a uniform, lump-free batter.
  4. Generously fold the entire bag of chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
  5. Gently spread the cookie dough across the prepared pan, creating an even layer that reaches all corners.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
