Delicious and easy-to-make Cake Cookie Bars that combine the best of cake and cookies into one tasty dessert. Using a boxed cake mix, these bars are quick to prepare, customizable with your favorite add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 15.25 oz cake mix (any flavor)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 ½ cups add-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, candy pieces, or dried fruit)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray and set it aside to ensure the bars don’t stick.
  2. Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well to form a thick batter. Then, fold in your chosen 1 ½ cups of add-ins evenly throughout the batter.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the thick batter to the prepared pan. Use a spatula or your clean hands to evenly spread and press the batter across the entire pan. Optionally, sprinkle extra add-ins on top for added texture and appearance.
  4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the edges puff up and appear set. The middle should be firm to touch but still slightly soft.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into bars and serve. Enjoy your delicious Cake Cookie Bars!

Notes

  • You can customize the bars by choosing any cake mix flavor (chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, etc.).
  • Try different add-ins like M&Ms, toffee bits, or chopped nuts for a variety of flavors and textures.
  • Make sure the bars cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
