Good recipe. They turned out more like cake than cookie though.

I made these using a choc. cake mix and this is my new brownie recipe, I can't make brownies to save my life! These bars taste like an amazing brownie, I can't wait to try with another flavor cake mix, yum! Thanks for a great recipe!

I followed other's reviews and added 5 T of water and 2 eggs. I used chocolate cake mix and chocolate and peanut butter chips. My family and guests loved them...this is a winner!

These were excellent. Didn't take long for them to disappear.

I absolutely LOVED these, I used 4 tablespoons of water instead of 2 and they came out perfect! I also used yellow cake mix and I used hershey's baking morsels filled with caramel, GREAT!! My whole family loved them and they were impressed.

These were sooo good!! I brought them to school for my friend's birthday and all of our friends just loved them!! Many of them asked for the recipe! I will definitely try making this again and experiment using different cake mixes! Thanks so much for this fantastic recipe!

Edible, but not good. Would probably be better if made with white chocolate chips, cranberries, and oatmeal as other reviewers tried. As is, doesn't taste much like a chocolate chip cookie.

I made these last week because I needed something to take to an open house, and I wanted to make a bar cookie (therefore something quick)with ingredients I had on hand. So here's my take....way too sweet! Holy cow! And a bit too oily. But, very tasty! I had a very similar recipe that my neighbor gave me three years ago, and that my daughters love to make. It calls for the cake mix, a 1/2 cup of oil (instead of butter), NO ADDED SUGAR, 2 eggs (rather than 1), 2 TBS. water, and the chips and nuts. You make regular drop cookies with this, and bake them for 8-10 minutes. This is a fantastic recipe for young kids, and it is extremely versatile. We usually make it with M&M's in place of the chips, and no nuts, but we have also used chocolate cake mix and peanut butter chips. I now always keep cake mixes in the pantry for when the girls want to bake cookies (this is also a good project for them to do on play dates). So, last night I had a yen to make these bar cookies again, but I used this older recipe, but with only about 1/3 cup of sofened butter instead of the oil, and only 1 cup of chocolate chips. Delicious! Perfect! I would definitely recommend that you try this variation.

I love this recipe for the simplicity (one bowl, one spoon, one measuring cup, and one pan), but these cookies are so yummy too! I have made them twice - once with a white cake mix and once with a yellow cake mix. Both were good - I actually preferred the yellow, it had more of a vanilla taste. People love these and have no idea how easy they are to make.

I followed this recipe exactly as it was written, baked for 30 minutes, and they are so soft and so yummy. I'm enjoying one now with a glass of milk--perfect!

Yummy recipe! I made this one because I was low on eggs, and it was soooo yummy! My kids loved them. I used a golden butter cake mix and added some chocolate chips and chopped pecans. I think I might try this one with a chocolate cake mix next time. :)

It was late and I was craving chocolate. All I had was cake mix, it was good! I wish I could have added chocolate chips. Used 1/3 c. water and baked for 21 minutes.

These were sooo good!!!I did make a couple of alterations though. I added 1/3 cup of water and 2 eggs. At first this looks like too much liquid by itself, but then when you mix the cake mix in you know why you need that much liquid. I also skipped the nuts and chocolate chips and just added butterscotch chips. The result was a super yummy, moist, cake like dessert!

I thought these turned out great - plus they were very easy to make. I used a yellow cake mix since I did not have a white one and did not use as many chocolate chips and nuts as called for (probably 1/3 c nuts and 3/4 bag of chocolate chips). My husband liked them but said they were a little softer than he likes them, so I am sure I will be trying other recipes.

One of the best bar cookies I have made. I did use as suggested, 1/4 cup of water and 2 eggs... cooked for 30 minutes and they came out perfect!

I'm constantly baking for my church's bake sales and coffee hours and I have little time to spare. I used this great basic recipe to bake for our latest bake sale. I figured I had some cake mixes on hand and it was quick and easy. I decided against the choc-chip variety because I know there will be a ton of that at the bake sale. My combination was: Spice Cake Mix instead of a white cake and instead of choc. chips- toffee bits. So the end product is spice bars with toffee and walnuts- they are moist, yummy and will be great with coffee. Thanks for a great basic recipe that I can change weekly!
