Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 box approximately 15.25 oz / 432 g of classic yellow or white cake mix
- 1 cup roughly 170 g of semi-sweet chocolate morsels or preferred mix-ins
- 1/3 cup about 80 ml neutral cooking oil such as vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by either lining it with parchment paper or applying a thin layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the boxed cake mix with the eggs and oil. Stir the ingredients together thoroughly until a smooth, cohesive dough forms without any visible dry patches.
- Gently incorporate the chocolate chips or other selected additions, folding them evenly throughout the batter.
- Portion the dough using a tablespoon, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly golden while the centers remain slightly soft to the touch.
- Allow the bars to rest on the baking tray for 2 to 3 minutes post-baking before relocating them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
