I made these tonight for a bake sale. Just to say they are great would be a understatement. For how quick, easy and inexpensive they are to make they are fabulous! I used 2 eggs, no water and a tsp of vanilla like the other comments suggested. I also sprinkled some rainbow chip sprinkles on the top to make them fun for kids. I gave a end piece to my husband and he had no clue they were made with a cake mix.

I used funfetti cake mix and the little pieces of funfetti made a nice addition to these bar cookies. Easy to mix, nice and chocolatey, was done right at 30 min. No fuss, this recipe is a keeper.

I made this exactly as instructed. I probably would have made some of the recommended changes if I had the opportunity to read the reviews before starting them. But I didn't, and I'm glad. THey are totally perfect! Yummy, crispy outside, gooey inside. Couldn't have picked a better recipe to try. Just like someone else said - as if brownies and cookies had babies. :) I tried chocolate cake mix with white chocolate chips and yellow cake mix with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Both are amazing!

Great flavor, made the recipe exactly as listed, except for the nuts. Although the flavor was excellent and my kids, 9 and 6 liked it, if was very crumbly and messy. Needs a bit of a binding agent to hold it together, maybe another egg.

Delicious! Like a chewy chocolate chip cookie. I followed other users' suggestions and used 2 eggs and 4 Tbsp of water and some vanilla exctract. I added a bag of toffee chips along with the semi sweet chips. Easy to make and tasty!!

These are VERY good. I can cook and bake most anything.. but Chocolate chip cookies seem to always get the best of me. These were very easy to make and like I said, VERY good. I used Funfetti Cake Mix-which made them turn out very cute and festive looking.. I followed other comments and added the extra water because it looked WAY too dry. I didn't put in the walnuts because I didn't have any on hand. My husband, son, and neighbor loved them though, so that's all that matters. Only thing... they may need left in the oven a BIT longer than it says.. and make sure you wait til they cool to cut them. It's hard, I know.. but it DOES make all the difference.

Really good! I didn't have walnuts, but I didn't miss them.

Yum! So easy, my 6yo was able to do most of it. The only thing that I changed was I used two eggs instead of adding water, and used a yellow cake mix because that's what was in my cupboard. Excellent cookies!

as written these are pretty decent - tastes similar to the traditional toll house cookie bars, really. however, i think i prefer the toll house recipe...but this has potential. i think this recipe would be great with alterations - changing up the cake mix and add-ins to create new flavor combos. i bet spice cake mix or a double chocolate mix with chips would be amazing. i will keep this recipe to try again with new cake mix and filling, but probably wouldn't make them with the white cake mix again.
