How to make cookie cake with cake mix
I’m so excited to share with you the best Chocolate Chip cookie Cake recipe. Seriously… we love this stuff. We have a secret tip though.
Well… maybe it isn’t so secret, but let’s pretend it is. 🙂 I’m using a cake mix!
This makes my life to much easier because you don’t need a ton of ingredients to make it, and the kids can even help.
Let’s talk about how to make Cookie cake with Cake mix. You need a cake mix… obviously. For this recipe, we are using a yellow cake mix, but you can use any flavor you want.
In a previous cake mix recipe, we used a chocolate cake mix to make Chocolate Butterscotch Cake Mix Cookie bars. Those are so good!
Ok, back to this chocolate chip cookie cake recipe. It really is that simple!
Ingredients you need:
- 1 Yellow Cake mix
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (you could try m&ms too!)
- 9×13 pan (I love the Wilton Cake mix that is on sale here)
How to make chocolate cookie cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the chocolate chips (or m&ms).
Spray the pan with nonstick spray.
Press the batter into the pan – you will have to press it out.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting (or they will fall apart!)

Can you tell I’m craving me some more cake mix bars? 🙂
Now since you are on this site and you know I love to save money I thought you would want a cost breakdown.
Cake Mix = about $1 (cheaper if you use coupons. I often get them for as low as $.25 with coupons)
Oil = about $.25 (maybe less)
Chocolate chips – less than $.50 (look for sales, because I often get them on sale and store then in the freezer)
eggs = $.33 (assuming you got a dozen for $2 – you can often get them much cheaper than that)
Grand total is…. $2.08 (or less) for a batch of these delicious cookie bars. That is much cheaper than buying them in the store for probably $4 or more. That is a savings of half off people… without even using coupons.
