This week I made Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars! Watch the video showing you how to make these easy dessert bars, then scroll to the bottom of this post and print out the recipe so you can bake them at home.
I have been jam-packed with homework and sports lately, so posting has been rare. High school is tough, especially when tennis is just ending and basketball is just starting up. High school tennis went very well, and I ended up as the #2 ranked player on the team at the end of the season! Now basketball is beginning, and lacrosse begins right after that. You could say that my schedule is very packed!!
But I always have time for baking, of course! These chocolate chip cookie bars look fantastic, don’t they?! Just like a normal cookie, but a different shape and a bit thicker.
These bars are so easy to make! With only four ingredients, I don’t know how you could go wrong. Surprisingly, there is vanilla cake mix in the recipe. It doesn’t make the bars extra-cakey, but it does add a nice texture and flavor. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
They’re like a stack of gold bars! Mouth-watering deliciousness sitting right in front of your eyes on this little plate! Don’t you just wish that you could reach through the screen and grab one? I sure do, because these Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are already gone at my house. I have used these bars as dessert in my school lunches. It is definitely a happy moment when I open my lunch bag. Great for school lunches and snacks?! I don’t know how these cookie bars could be any better…
I will be trying to post more now that I am getting familiar with the larger workload and sports commitment of high school. Don’t worry, RecipeBoy is here to stay!!
Sounds good! You are turning out to be a fine cook! It runs in the family!
These look totally delicious. Can’t wait to make them. Thanks so much for sharing, since you have lots of homework and play sports. I appreciate your taking time to post an awesome recipe.
Congratulations on being ranked #2 on your team – that’s a great start to your high school career! I hope you can still find time for your cooking – it’s helpful to have a fun hobby to help you relax from your busy schedule. Looking forward to trying out this easy recipe.
So glad RecipeBoy is here to stay because you always have yummy stuff to share and your posts always make me smile.
I totally enjoyed watching the whole Galena team play Tennis; it is an awesome sport and you fit right in. So proud of you. Anxiously waiting for what comes next!
So cute! Love this comment ❤️
Made these for Saturday night, but I used Chocolate Cake mix, added white & milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and Reese Pieces baking chips (a total of 2 cups, clean out my odds and ends items). They came out great, but then added white fluffy icing and fall sprinkles. Will make these again, they where GREAT.
Never stop cooking! You’re doing awesome!!
Congratulations on being ranked #2!!
You give me the very best thing to cook.
Made these tonight (actually made a half-batch)… Super-easy and so delicious! Thanks!
Do they travel well?
Yes, they should!
What is vanilla cake mix? I’ve seen yellow, white, butter recipe etc but not one called vanilla?
I think I used “French Vanilla,” but if you can’t find it… just use white.
Oh my!! I’ve made these several times now- wonferful. This last batch I made with devils food cake mix and Andes chips- oh my soooooo yummy!! Love this recipe!
Was wondering could you also add banana to this, and if so what would i need to add, how much and anything else!
I haven’t tried it!
Can you use butterscotch chips instead?
Sure!
Can you add nuts to this recipe or will it change the consistency?
I think it will be fine!
I have changed the flavor of cake mix and chips a few times and my family loves them. I have used a chocolate cake and peanut butter chips, chocolate cake and mint chips, yellow cake and butterscotch chips.
These bars were good, but they seemed a little gooey after baking them for twenty minutes. They looked done on the top but not on the bottom. I added some Christmas sprinkles on top to make them look festive. I would probably bake them longer next time.
