I love chocolate chip cookies, and better yet chocolate chip cookie bars! And because of my allergies, I always have to make them from scratch. That is one of the reasons I got into baking.
These Chocolate Chip cookie bars are a mix between a cookie, a cake and a a blondie. They are chewy, a little cake like, but not too crumbly. In addition this recipe is fun and easy and can be changed up with different toppings. You can add sprinkles, any kind of baking chip and you can change up the cake mix! These are delicious served with Ice cream as well!
What’s in them?
- 1 box of cake mix – I chose Betty Crocker French Vanilla
- 1/4 Cup of canola oil
- 1 Large egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 Cup white chocolate chips (I use Tollhouse Simply Delicious – They are soy free!)
- 1/2 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I use Tollhouse Simply Delicious – They are soy free!)

Suggestions to change it up!
- Use Butterscotch chips
- Mint Chocolate Chips
- M&M’s

- Add in Marshallow fluff and swirl it around
- Use Chocolate Cake Mix
- Use Cherry Chip Cake Mix
- Serve with ice cream!
- The possibilities are endless!!!
How to Make it
- Mix together the cake mix, egg, vanilla, and milk
- The batter will appear thick and almost sticky, but that is okay. If you need to add more milk you can
- Add in your chocolate chips
- Grease a 11×9 baking dish with a baking spray or my Cake Pan Release (Soy Free!)
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes
- Let cool completely before frosting – or you can eat without frosting!
