Cake mix cookie bars

I had a craving for something sweet the other day, and I didn't have a lot of time to stir up and bake a couple dozen cookies.  So, I whipped up these super easy cake mix cookies, and made them into bars. 

In less than 30 minutes, I was able to feed my craving with this super 'chocolatey' cookie bars.  And, one of the best things...you only need three ingredients!

 

If you haven't had cake mix cookies before, these are super easy and very good.  They are great because they are like a blank slate...you can add whatever you want to them and make all kind of concoctions.  

This time...like most times....I had a chocolate craving.  So I started with a chocolate cake mix...any brand works, and added chocolate chips and then thought...hey why not add some white chocolate chips, too.  Then to get more chocolate, I added some chocolate fudge sauce on top...this is optional, but why not!

Here's the recipe:
1 box cake mix (I used chocolate for this recipe)
2 eggs
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Topping:
Chocolate ice cream topping - the kind in a jar.

Mix well...you can mix together with a wooden spoon, or use a mixer if you prefer.  Grease a 9x13 pan and press mix into it.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 18 - 20 minutes or until the edges are cooked...this leaves the middle a little gooey, which is the way I like them...you can cook longer if you like them more crisp.

Let the cookies cool and then drizzle chocolate ice cream topping on top (caramel would be good too!).  Cut into squares and enjoy!  

They are really good with a scoop of ice cream on top!

Happy baking!
