Ingredients
Scale
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Mix with a spoon or spatula until just combined into a thick dough. Do not overmix.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into squares.
Notes
For chocolate chip cookie bars, stir in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips before pressing the dough into the pan.
To make peanut butter cake mix bars, substitute the yellow cake mix with chocolate cake mix and add 1 cup of peanut butter chips.
For a Snickerdoodle flavor, use white cake mix and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough mixture.
