Making Easter Cake Mix Cookie Bars is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips or any additional mix-ins you desire.
4. Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool Down: Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookie bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. If using parchment paper, lift the bars out and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Dust and Serve: Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired, and cut into squares for serving.
Following these steps will guide you seamlessly in creating these amazing cookie bars that everyone will rave about.
