Redirg was right -- the butter and cake mix together make a dough, not a crumbly mixture. I double-checked that I did the proportions correctly, too. The cookies are in the oven now -- I think they'll taste fine, but the crust was a sticky dough that had to be patted into the pan. Maybe it depends on the type of butter/margarine used? And maybe it should be softened, as someone said, instead of melted.

These cookies (actually more like candy) are great! I made them for a meeting, and they were a big hit. I didn't have enough corn syrup, so I used part honey, and that was very tasty. I will definitely make them again.

This didn't seem to have enough crust mixture for a 9x13" pan, so I baked in in an 8x11". These bars turn out very soft and gooey. I also skipped the glaze, but I did sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of the hot cookies and, after a couple of minutes, swirled the melted chocolate. Not my very favorite chocolate chip cookie, but very good, and easy to make.
