This easy Yellow Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar Recipe is a great way to turn an ordinary cake mix into a delicious handheld treat perfect for lunch boxes, bake sales and potluck dinners.

This is a great recipe for using up extra cake mixes you might have from super-coupon shopping (I got a bunch for 20 cents each last week) and is also just a nice, quick dessert to make any time.

Starting desserts with a cake mix saves a lot of time and they can be so easy to make. Some of our other favorite recipes starting with a cake mix are this easy Fruit Cocktail Cake recipe and this filled cake mix cookies recipe. Both delicious!

These bars are easier to make than cake (no frosting needed) and much less messy – you can eat them with your hands. It’s a perfect portable dessert.

To lighten up the recipe:

If you want to reduce the fat content of the recipe, I will often replace half of the butter with applesauce and you can also substitute 1 Tbsp soy flour and 1 Tbsp water for one of the eggs.
